Glass

Country of origin:

Czech Republic

Size/shape:

10mm dagger-shaped (or long petal-shaped) beads with a seam down the center and the hole through the narrowest end.

Colors/description:

A mixture of opaque blue and black in clear glass; portions of these beads are completely clear, and some beads have areas that are all black.  This color combination is called "blue lapis" or "blue tiger" by the Czech manufacturers.

Hole size:

1mm (estimated).

Defects:

The beads appear to be in good shape, although (as stated above) some beads have clear areas and some beads have areas that are all black.

How photographed:

At the window in natural daylight.

Comments:

The beads come on strands of 100, so I'm selling them in lots of 100.  The supplier's picture is fairly accurate, although the beads look shiny.  Despite their 10mm size, these beads are quite small.
