| Bead material: |
Glass |
| Country of origin: |
Czech Republic |
| Size/shape: |
6mm round, faceted. |
| Colors/description: |
Milky or opalescent alexandrite (alexandrite appears light blue under some kinds of light, and violet under other kinds of light). |
| Hole size: |
1mm (estimated). |
| Defects: |
The beads appear to be in good shape, although fire-polished beads always have one or two imperfect facets. The picture revealed that an occasional bead may have a speck of dirt in the glass. |
| How photographed: |
Under two daylight-balanced lamps. Note: Using lamps leaves two bright spots on each bead -- especially on round beads -- but that can't be helped. |
| Comments: |
The color of these beads is really wonderful. Unfortunately, I've had trouble photographing them. The beads look very pale and inditinct in the pictures, so the first time I photographed them, I chose a darker picture. But a customer told me that it looked like a "gray veil" had been drawn over the picture, so I redid it, using one of the lighter pictures. It's hard to say which picture is more accurate. |
