Gabbro is a coarse-grained, igneous rock composed primarily of plagioclase feldspar and pyroxene, often displaying a mottled black, gray, and white appearance. Dakota Stones offers gabbro beads that are valued for their durability and unique, speckled patterns, making them suitable for both statement and everyday jewelry designs. Its relatively high hardness and stability allow for versatile use in a variety of jewelry applications, including bracelets, necklaces, and earrings.
