Banded agate in a deep, moody purple, cut and polished into smooth 8mm rounds — this is a semi-precious gemstone bead with real visual weight and the kind of layered color that keeps catching the eye.

The natural banding in the agate means each bead carries its own pattern of shifting purple tones, so no two are identical.

What to make with them

At 8mm, these rounds are a strong choice for strung necklaces and bracelets where the stone can take center stage, and they pair well with knotting techniques like silk cord knotting that let each bead breathe on its own.
