G797

Bead material:

glass

Country of origin:

Czech Republic

Size/shape:

4mm cube shaped

translucent teal with a luster coating

Defects:

Important:  Some of these beads may be cracked; the problem is, I can't tell because the beads are so small!  Right out of the camera, the large photo shows lines in many of the beads that could be cracks.  With my eyes, I am able to isolate some of the lines, but I can't tell if they are cracks or 'straw' lines.  Nonetheless, I have reduced the price by one-third.  However, there is a problem for you if you buy the beads:  You may not be able to see the cracks either!  So you wouldn't know which beads have cracks and should be discarded, and which beads are good and should be used.  The only way to tell for sure would be to look at the beads under a microscope, but I don't have one.

Comments:

If these beads are not cracked (see above), they are very nice.  Unfortunately, the photo didn't come out that well.  They look much better to the naked eye.
