{"product_id":"natural-sunstone-cube-beads-8mm","title":"Natural Sunstone Cube Beads (8mm)","description":"These beautiful natural sunstone beads are handmade in Afghanistan and individually shaped into softly irregular cubes. Their hand-cut construction gives each bead its own character while maintaining a pleasing overall consistency throughout the strand.\r\n\r\nSunstone is a natural feldspar mineral valued for its distinctive appearance and, in some varieties, a subtle shimmering optical effect caused by tiny mineral inclusions. It has been used for centuries as an ornamental stone and remains popular in both contemporary and traditional jewelry.\r\n\r\nEach strand measures approximately 14 inches long, with individual cube beads measuring approximately 7–9 x 7–9mm. Because these beads are handmade from natural stone, expect variations in size, shape, surface texture, and natural mineral characteristics.\r\n\r\nA distinctive choice for necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and other jewelry designs, these Afghan sunstone beads combine the beauty of natural stone with traditional hand craftsmanship.","brand":"The Bead Chest","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49519820013723,"sku":"STN-1373","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1012\/8152\/files\/shopify_Pink_Coral_Jade_Cube_Beads_8_10mm.png?v=1789409336","url":"https:\/\/www.thebeadchest.com\/products\/natural-sunstone-cube-beads-8mm","provider":"The Bead Chest","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
