Item no.:

G1023

Bead material:

glass

Country of origin:

China?

Size/shape:

8mm tablet-shaped (flat, round with rounded edges)

Colors/description:

semi-translucent capri blue (blue with a hint of aqua) with striations in the glass

Defects:

I noticed one bead with a rough spot, another bead with an off-center hole, and another bead with a dent in the side.  However, the vast majority are in good shape.

Comments:

These are not grade A cat's eye beads (I bought them by mail and didn't know what I would get).  The very best cat's eye beads are opaque and have more pronounced striations.  However, I still think they are nice.
