17mm Pink/Topaz Nautilus Beads [5]

Cost per bead:

80 cents

Bead material:

glass

Country of origin:

Czech Republic

Size/shape:

17mm-long, 13mm-wide, nautilus-shaped beads.  The hole runs through the long dimension.

Colors/description:

Rosy pink beads with a mottled topaz coating.  The coating could be considered a picasso coating.  It's possible, though I am not sure, that the pink color is also a coating, and that the underlying bead is white.

Hole size:

1mm (estimated).

Defects:

I haven't noticed any significant defects.  If these beads have the fissures in the grooves which another of the nautilus beads have, they are very few.

How photographed:

At the window in natural daylight.

Comments:

The pink/topaz color combination is common in Czech beads, but this rendition of it is particularly nice.
