Comments: I recently carried beads which I called 2x6mm amethyst iris rondelles. When I reordered them, I got these. The iris beads were darker and had a coating with purple and blue in it. These beads have a more traditional gold-luster coating (although it looks more coppery to me than gold). However, the coating is not very heavy, and that makes them look very different from the previous batch -- thus, you can see more of the color of the inner glass. Because of the changed, I am posting these beads with a new number, and I'm counting them as a new style.
