5mm Celsian Fluted Beads [100]

Cost per bead:

3.7 cents

Bead material:

Glass

Country of origin:

Czech Republic

Size/shape:

5mm round, fluted.

Colors/description:

Clear glass with a gold/metallic coating.  The celsian coating doesn't seem to be sprayed evenly onto the beads, which is part of the look.  I believe that celsian coating are fire-polished (heat-sealed) onto the beads, but I am not absolutely positive.

Hole size:

1mm (estimated).

Defects:

The beads appear to be in good shape.  An occasional bead may be malformed.

How photographed:

At the window in natural daylight.

Comments:

The color in the picture is a little too golden.  The flutes on these beads are not as even and perfect as they are on larger beads.
