Price Per Lot: $3.20
Lots Available: 20
Style No. (bin): F672 (cla+b)

Style no.: F672
Beads per lot: 50
Cost per bead: 6.4 cents
Bead material: Glass
Country of origin: Czech Republic
Size/shape: 3mm (thick) x 5mm (wide) faceted rondelles (a rondelle is a round bead which is wider than it is long).  Many suppliers and sellers call this the "gemstone" shape.
Colors/description: Translucent medium green with a dark-blue-iris coating on part of each bead (such coatings are sometimes called "azuro" coatings).
Hole size: 1mm (estimated).
Defects: I haven't noticed any defects, but fire-polished beads always have some imperfect facets.
How photographed: Under two daylight-balanced lamps.  Note:  Using lamps leaves two bright spots on each bead -- especially on round beads -- but that can't be helped.  The close-up shot may show defects that the human eye can't discern.
Comments: The dark-blue "azuro" coating looks almost black, but you can see some blue in it.

My new camera, as wonderful as it is, doesn't reproduce greens very well, so a lot of post-processing was required to make the picture look accurate.  I fixed up the picture while viewing the beads under daylight-balanced light bulbs.  The colors that you see may vary according to the kind of light you are using.

I don't often buy 3mm x 5mm rondelles because I don't feel that I get a lot of "bang for my buck", but some customers like the smaller size.
