Country of origin:

Czech Republic

Colors/description:

Translucent medium teal (greenish aqua) with a brown mottled coating on the round parts of the beads.

Hole size:

1mm (estimated).

Defects:

The beads appear to be in good shape.  However, these beads are fire-polished, and not all the facets may be perfectly smooth.

How photographed:

At the window in natural daylight.

Comments:

The actual beads are fairly small, and the teal glass may not be as richly colored (i.e., dark) as the picture indicates.  This is one of those occasions when the picture makes the beads look a little better than they are.
