14mm Yellow/Amethyst Leaf Beads [50]

Cost per bead:

10 cents

Bead material:

Glass

Country of origin:

Czech Republic

Size/shape:

14mm leaf-shaped with the hole running sideways through the narrow end.

Colors/description:

Translucent light yellow with a wide streak of translucent amethyst in the middle of each bead; the yellow blends with the amethyst and tends to make it look brown.

Hole size:

1mm (estimated).

Defects:

Ideally, each bead would have a perfect streak of amethyst in the middle, but many beads don't have a perfect streak.  Some beads are mostly amethyst, and some have yellow in the center with amethyst on the edges.  Such beads can be used,  Even so, I've lowered the priced from $5.40 to $5.00 because of the color defects.

How photographed:

At the window in natural daylight.

Comments:

I really like these beads.  In the picture, the yellow portion looks lime, but it is light yellow.
