6mm Clear Celsian Round Beads [50]

Beads per lot:

50

Cost per bead:

4 cents

Bead material:

Glass

Country of origin:

Czech Republic

Size/shape:

6mm round (spherical).

Colors/description:

Clear beads with a light brown luster coating.

Hole size:

1mm (estimated).

Defects:

A small percentage of beads – perhaps 5% – have dirt in the glass.  Also, the holes are a little rough; and since these are translucent beads, that roughness looks like frostiness through the glass.

How photographed:

At the window in natural daylight.

Comments:

When I look at these beads at night, the coating looks yellowish, but that's probably because artificial light has a yellowish cast.  Czech glass beads which are clear (colorless) are called "crystal", though there is no lead in them and there is nothing special about the glass.
