Item no.:

F341

Bead material:

glass

Country of origin:

Czech Republic

Size/shape:

3mm x 6mm faceted rondels

Colors/description:

Translucent purple with a 'mirror' coating.  Mirror coatings are colored silvery coatings which are applied to part of each bead and which are not fired onto the bead.

Defects:

Mirror-type coatings are not heat-bonded to the bead (i.e., not fire-polished), and I noticed after carrying these beads for a while that the coating was sometimes coming off.  So I dropped the price from $3.60 to $2.00.

How photographed:

At the window in natural daylight.

Comments:

I don't usually get "mirror" beads, but I thought I would make an exception.
