Clear glass with a light purple coating and a light copper or bronze coating on part of each bead.

Defects:

I haven't noticed any defects, but fire-polished beads always have some imperfect facets.

In the light tent with studio lights.  This method always makes the beads look a little dull.

Comments:

The coating is definitely a little more red than most bronze coatings, which is why the supplier and I are calling it "copper".
