4mm Aqua AB Cut-Crystal Bicone Beads [50]
Click to enlarge
Price Per Lot: $3.50
Lots Available: 6
Style No. (bin): C048 (eia~)

Style: C048
Beads per lot: 50
Cost per bead: 8 cents
Bead material: Glass
Country of origin: Czech Republic
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.
