Click to enlarge
Price Per Lot: $3.00
Lots Available: 42
Style No. (bin): G2187 (boa~m)

Style no.: G2187
Beads per lot: 25
Cost per bead: 12 cents
Bead material: Glass
Country of origin: Czech Republic
Size/shape: 10mm (wide) x 4.5mm (thick) puffy flat round beads ("puffy" meaning that the edges are round instead of square like a coin would be).  I think that "tablet" describes the shape pretty well.
Colors/description: Clear beads with a cloud of amethyst purple in each bead.
Hole size: 1mm (estimated).
Defects: The clouds of amethyst are not consistent from one bead to the next.  Some beads are mostly amethyst, and some are mostly clear, with many gradations in between.
How photographed: At the window in natural daylight.
Comments: I've always liked clear beads with a cloud of color in them.  I used to call such beads "givre" beads (a word used by Swarovski for clear beads with a cloud of white in them), but I am abandoning that name because it isn't accurate.  These beads are pretty nice.

These beads are pricier than I think they should be, but I got them from one of my more expensive suppliers.  I can't find them anywhere else.
