Glass

Czech Republic

Clear or topaz beads with a mottle brown "picasso" coating.  Some beads also have a blue picasso coating on part of the bead.  Please note that I am pretty sure that the topaz color is in the coating rather than the glass, but I am not sure.

1mm (estimated).

Defects:

The beads appear to be in good shape.

How photographed:

At the window in natural daylight.

Comments:

The picture isn't quite accurate.  The topaz color of the actual beads isn't as rich and dark as the picture shows.  But when I reduced the color saturation, the blue portions of the coating disappeared entirely, so I had to leave the picture as it was.  Also, a close examination of the beads makes me think that the topaz color is in the coating and that the underlying bead is clear.
