Thulite is a pink to reddish variety of the mineral zoisite, valued for its vibrant color and granular texture. At Dakota Stones, we offer natural thulite beads that display a range of pink hues, often with white or gray veining. Thulite is moderately hard and suitable for various jewelry applications, though its granular structure may require gentle handling. Its unique coloration and relative rarity make it a distinctive choice for designers seeking an uncommon, eye-catching material.
