They display a vibrant blue color and feature natural matrix (veining). Interspersed with the turquoise are smaller, flat, disk-shaped beads made from shell, known as heishi beads. These are a mix of white and darker brown pin shell, which add contrast to the blue turquoise. The beads are separated and accented by small, round, sterling silver spacer beads.
