| There
is a range of color and clarity in gems
we use - how strong the color is, and
how clear the material is and free from
inclusions. This is not an issue of quality
as it is a matter of accurately describing
the attributes of a material itself when
you compare beads, compare beads of the
same category. In tourmaline, for example,
strong color, clarity and large size all
contribute to higher prices. So you can't
compare beads that are just tourmaline.
