Beads average 6mm in diameter with minor variations of about 0.5mm. These Heishis exhibit a deep green color across largely translucent bodies. This rare gemstone is in fine form with our signature super-thin Heishi beads!
This unique bead shape is inspired by the traditional bead designs of the Kewa Pueblo people of New Mexico. Also known as Hishi, Heshi and Heishe, this shape is pronounced "hee-shee".
