What Are Terp Pearls?

Material for Terp Pearls?

Terp pearls can be made from various materials. Each has its own pros and cons. From glass to quartz to rubies.

  • Borosilicate Glass: Glass terp pearls are made from borosilicate glass. These can be cheap and are usually easy to find. However, glass cracks and can explode when overheated. 
  • Quartz: Quartz is a common material to find pearls in. It is a tougher material, less likely to crack, and gets milky in color. Quartz can handle the heat. 

Ruby and Sapphire: While these pearls can be fragile, they are awesome to look at. They are popular for their color and heat retention, but you have to be careful. Overdoing it can cause these pearls to crack.
