Product Description
Bauxite is a type of aluminum ore. All African bauxite beads are hand made and drilled, making these beads very labor demanding. Bauxite beads like these have been imported from Africa for decades. What attracts most buyers to them is their beautiful natural color.
The size of the beads vary from strand to strand. This is a real authentic strand at an affordable price!
I prefer to design with these rustic heishi-style beads when they are smaller than 6mm - and here they were at The Bead Chest! Very well made along strand, not many chips. They are lighter color than some I've seen, a paler red brown. But I still love these! Goes very well against turquoise, reds , greens, many uses. Fast shipping is terrific too! Thank you for offering these.

Fabulous beads
Perfect for our use. Many Nigerian chiefs and others are using the plentiful coral beads supplied by the Chinese for special occasions. These authentically mined and drilled African bauxite beads are wonderful and set the wearer apart. Keep them coming!!

Love these!
These are wonderful beads, substantial and quite heavy, lovely mixture of reddish brown earth tones, striking in various combinations with other stones or with metals.
