Style no.:

G1563

Bead material:

Glass

Country of origin:

Czech Republic

Size/shape:

5mm angular ovals with 3 sides and a ridge in the middle.

Colors/description:

Translucent teal (greenish aqua) with a lustrous iris coating on part of each bead.  Iris coatings usually reflect a rainbow of colors.  I do see some colors in this coating, but mostly it looks bronzy.

Hole size:

1mm (estimated).

Defects:

The beads appear to be in good shape.

How photographed:

At the window in natural daylight.

Comments:

In retrospect, I think these beads would look better if they had a silvery AB coating on them.  The coating is neither as nice as AB coatings, nor as nice as bronzy celsian coatings.  But that's just my opinion.
