Click to enlarge
Price Per Lot: $3.20
Lots Available: 1
Style No. (bin): F579 (cha+e)

Style: F579
Beads per lot: 25
Cost per bead: 12.8 cents
Bead material: Glass
Country of origin: Czech Republic
Size/shape: 8mm round, faceted
Colors/description: Greenish turquoise (i.e., opaque greenish aqua) with a brown mottled "picasso" coating; I also see hints of grayish lavender in the coating.
Hole size: 1mm (estimated).
Defects: The picture revealed several beads with pits.  It appears that the number of beads with pits is less than 5%, so I didn't reduce the price any.  However, if you receive beads with pits, you can contact me for a pro-rated refund.  Also, fire-polished beads always have some imperfect facets.
How photographed: At the window in natural daylight.
Comments: There are picasso coatings that are truly lovely, and then there are picasso coatings that make the beads look like they are splattered with mud; this coating is the latter.  You may like the look.  I'm not sure how much I like it, but I find it interesting.

Important:  The turquoise glass may look more blue or, possibly, more green than the picture shows, depending on the kind of light you are viewing the beads under.
