Item no.:

G749

Bead material:

glass

Country of origin:

Czech Republic

Size/shape:

12mm dagger-shaped, with the hole sideways through the small end.

Colors/description:

orangey-red, black and white in loose horizontal stripes, with a seam down the middle of each bead

Defects:

There is a lot of variation in the color patterns from one bead to the next, but I'm not counting that as a defect.  With narrow beads like this, some of them are bound to be misshapen, though I haven't noticed any.

Comments:

I got two mass of these beads by mistake (2400 beads).  I think they are interesting, but I don't think they'll be that popular.  These are the first dagger-shaped beads I have carried.
