10mm flat round (coin-shaped) hand-polished beads

Greenish turquoise (opaque aqua) with a brown picasso coating around the edges.  (Natural turquoise comes in a both a bluish and greenish hue.)

Many of the "windows" on these beads have a film on them that has to be rubbed off.  As with the other polished beads, I am examining these beads individually and eliminating defective beads.

At the window in natural daylight.

Comments:

Despite the fact that the supplier's price is unreasonably high for these smallish beads, I decided to get them.  The bluish-turquoise version has been very popular.
