turquoise cluster cabochon/bead

each of these are a cluster of natural real turquoise chips held together with a dark matrix of resin/epoxy.

the flat oval shape can work as a cabochon but there is a hole lengthwise thru the piece, so it's a bead too, if you want to use it that way.

i suggest using it in an epoxy clay creation or in a necklace, but i'm curious to see what you'll do with it!

a random find, so i only have a few of these!
