Glass

Country of origin:

Czech Republic

Size/shape:

17mm (long) x 13mm (wide) x 5mm (thick) nautilus-shaped beads.

Colors/description:

Opaque very-light blue with translucent topaz glass on the surface.

Hole size:

1mm (estimated).

Defects:

The beads appear to be in good shape.  An occasional bead has unusual swirls of colors, but I am eliminating those.  I am also eliminating beads which are missing the topaz color over significant portions of the bead.

How photographed:

At the window in natural daylight.

Comments:

The picture is just a little inaccurate.  The light blue portion is a slightly richer blue than the picture indicates, and the topaz portion is a little more muted.
