Great for Bracelets

Lots of beads. Good price. As advertised. Gave them a boiling water bath for a minute to rid them of their wax coating. Has a good texture for bracelets even after boiling. Satisfied. Note: I have never bought lava beads that didn't have irregularities. To expect perfect beads is unrealistic in this medium. That being said, each strand has from 2-5 or so beads that have strange irregular surfaces beyond the typical hole. This does not deter me from using them. I consider this par for the course. I don't grind my own beads, so I cannot say I could do better in crafting my own, but I am happy with what I have received.They wanted me to rate "Sheerness" and "stretch" and I left it blank because at no point is a lava bead "sheer" unless you are looking through the hole and if they are elastic, then there is something wrong with nature.Note: hole size: I tested with 20g wire and 1mm round leather cord. It threads beautifully without having to manually finger "drill" the cord into the hole or use a bead reamer ahead of time to get it to pass through. This makes these beads 100% better for speed of use and quality holes. I would definitely purchase these again.

This is for “Natural Gray Lava Beads Undyed” product. To confirm it is in fact undyed (and unwaxed) they were boiled for 30 minutes. Did not see any wax or dye leached in the water.

Excellent, perfect

Received 10 strands of about 48 beads. They all seem to be good quality. Would purchase again.

The media could not be loaded. I do love the company, I have bought from this company before, and I will buy from them again, I gave them 4 star rating because it is a good value, and since covid who knows why they did this? Lava beads in the video I called them lava rocks lol. They do have a wax coating on them!!! Which needs to be removed lava beads should be dry not have any wax on them mostly if your making diffuser bracelet. I would boil and add cold water would only do 3 strands at a time remove them from the strand!! Yes the company needs to say yes we added a wax, you know when you buy veggies, cucumber and they look all shiny and pretty, they put wax on them, same with these beadsOne could also but paper towels over the beads and iron the beads to absorb the wax.Other then the wax, great deal, the company needs to admit there is a coating on them yes.

Price is great. Quality of beads and hole size I love for the 8mm string that I use.

High quality, absorbable beads are great for smells and essential oil use. The color is exactly what you would expect: lava!
