6mm Olive Swirl Matte Teardrop Beads [100]

Cost per bead:

4 cents

Bead material:

Glass

Country of origin:

Czech Republic

Size/shape:

6mm teardrops (6mm from end to end, about 4mm wide) with the hole running sideways through the narrow end.

Colors/description:

A mixture of clear, opaque blue, opaque yellow and opaque green glass.  I believe, though I'm not sure, that the green results in those areas where the yellow and blue combine.

Hole size:

1mm (estimated).

Defects:

Multicolored beads often have minor problems, as these do.  I would say that up to 20% of them have small pits or, less commonly, fissures.  The defects are hard to see, and I think that most of those beads will end up being used, so I haven't reduced the price.  The price is already fairly low.

How photographed:

At the window in natural daylight.

Comments:

These are pretty beads.  In low light they look darker than the picture indicates.
