How do I know it is dyed? The process for dying candy jade and most of the magnesite has a distinctive odor when fresh. The beads are cut and then dyed. The different colors have different smells. Moth ball, peppermint and Pepto Bismo are common odors. This red coral had a strong peppermint odor. Plus the colors are different than the colors of the carnelian red of the ones Jamey showed. These beads are about 20x30.
