Translucent medium topaz with thin brown
stripes swirled throughout.
Defects:
The beads appear to be in good shape.
How photographed:
At the window in natural daylight.
Comments:
The term "tortoise" refers to
translucent beads with stripes. Actually, for years the term tortoise meant topaz beads with black or
brown stripes, just like these beads. However, these beads are different from typical tortoise beads in that
the stripes are unusually thin and swirly. I really like them.
