Maybe i should research? Possibly not Turquoise? Either way they are beautiful stones. Not like i dont have every stone bead you can think of…but Varacite.

Looks like Turquoise. Most likely stabilized. Cutting is pretty basic and angular. Whoever cut it was primarily interested in preserving weight rather than creating a more domed cut designed for setting. I’m surprised it isn’t backed. Looks like it was rough cut and then tumble finished with just enough curve/chamfer on the edges for setting. Looks like Nevada to me, or perhaps stabilized Cerillos. Could also be Kingman?

First blush, perhaps Fox, has that bluish green look.
