glass

8mm faceted beads with two flat sides and facets around the edge

A mixture of amethyst purple, sapphire blue and lime green.

The beads are fire-polished (i.e., made shiny by passing them through high heat).  That means that many facets, including the large flat facets on each side, have some anomalies and are not perfectly flat and smooth.

Comments:

Important:  The actual beads have colors which are a little less dark and intense as the colors in the picture.  I had problems getting the picture right.
