Translucent pinkish purple with loose purple stripes, and some blue mixed in.  Some beads are all blue.

1mm or smaller (est.)

Defects:

Some beads are cracked, and many have pits, so I reduced the price substantially.  The total defects should not exceed 20% to 25%.  These were discounted beads to start out with.

How photographed:

At the window in natural daylight.

Comments:

As with most Czech purple beads, the color is a grayish-purple.  I can only imagine that the minerals required to make a bright purple must be expensive, and that's why Czech purples are usually grayish.

As I state above, many of these beads have defects.  You'll have to look at each bead closely for cracks and pits.
