These Amethyst Plain Heishi Beads have a consistent diameter of 6mm. The translucent bodies are known for their vibrant color, unique to Amethyst. Each bead varies slightly in size and shape, following the traditional designs of the Kewa Pueblo people of New Mexico. Also referred to as Hishi, Heshi, and Heishe, the "hee-shee" shape is hand cut from natural Amethyst sourced from South America, creating interesting variations among each bead.
