Besides consistent size, which is very important doing beading works, these are high quality and deserve what’s paid for them. I wish the seller had them in size 10 mm too.

My second time buying the black lava beads. I bought 8mm and 10mm. Will keep coming back as long as they sell them. Great price and good quality. I also bought the brown lava beads and I love them! They are the color of milk chocolate. Such a beautiful, earthy tone. I can't believe I've never seen them before now. They really are beautiful if you like that natural tone in a textured lave bead. I'm a fan!

As described

Lots of beads. Good price. As advertised. Gave them a boiling water bath for a minute to rid them of their wax coating. Has a good texture for bracelets even after boiling. Satisfied. Note: I have never bought lava beads that didn't have irregularities. To expect perfect beads is unrealistic in this medium. That being said, each strand has from 2-5 or so beads that have strange irregular surfaces beyond the typical hole. This does not deter me from using them. I consider this par for the course. I don't grind my own beads, so I cannot say I could do better in crafting my own, but I am happy with what I have received. They wanted me to rate "Sheerness" and "stretch" and I left it blank because at no point is a lava bead "sheer" unless you are looking through the hole and if they are elastic, then there is something wrong with nature. Note: hole size: I tested with 20g wire and 1mm round leather cord. It threads beautifully without having to manually finger "drill" the cord into the hole or use a bead reamer ahead of time to get it to pass through. This makes these beads 100% better for speed of use and quality holes. I would definitely purchase these again.

The black lava bead quality is the best out of the 4 companies that I have ordered from beads are same size and the beads are nice and round. shipping is unreliable and reaching out to company is hard. but the beads are definitely the best I have worked with.
