Size/shape: |
3.5mm (long) x 4mm (wide) faceted bicones. Bicones are like two pyramids joined at the base, with the hole running through the centers of the pyramids. Unlike molded bicones, which have 4 sides, cut-crystal bicones have 7 sides. |
Colors/description: |
Translucent aqua with an AB coating on part of each bead ("aurora borealis" coatings are silver-colored with some subtle colors [especially amber] evident in the silver).
|
Hole size: |
1mm (estimated).
|
Defects: |
The beads appear to be in good shape, although I noticed that the AB coating makes some of the facets look a little mottled. However, any defects will be hard to see because the beads are so small.
|
How photographed: |
Under two daylight-balanced lamps.
|
Comments: |
The manufacturer calls this color "zircon". These beads are similar to the C044 beads except that they have an AB coating.
