6mm Turquoise Picasso Round Beads [50]

Style:  G1882
 
Beads per lot:  50

Cost per bead:  6.8 cents

Bead material:  Glass

Country of origin:  Czech Republic

Size/shape:  6mm round (spherical).

Colors/description:  Opaque light bluish-turquoise with a yellow-brown mottled "picasso" coating.  The overall effect is green.
 
Hole size:  1mm (estimated).

Defects:  The beads appear to be in good shape.

How photographed:  At the window in natural daylight.

Comments:  I have gotten these beads from two suppliers.  Sometimes, the yellow-brown coating is so heavy that the beads look green.  In this case, you can see a good deal of the turquoise color coming through.  Nonetheless, the overall affect is green more than turquoise.  The last time I posted them (April, 2015), I was able to reduce the price by ten cents per lot.
