Bead material:

glass with synthetic coating

Country of origin:

Czech Republic

Size/shape:

7mm x 8mm snail-shaped beads

Colors/description:

mixed opaque colors, including many beads with two colors mixed together; these are synthetically coated beads (I believe the inner bead is white)

Defects:

The most prevalent defect is small white spots in the coating, as if a bubble had formed and then burst.  However, the white spots are so small that they won't bother you.

How photographed:

In the light tent with studio lights.

Comments:

I really love these beads.  I've never seen beads quite like them.  They are definitely fun.
