Click to enlarge
Price Per Lot: $4.50
Lots Available: 27
Style No. (bin): C042 (eia~?)

Style: C042
Beads per lot: 50
Cost per bead: 9 cents
Bead material: Glass
Country of origin: Czech Republic
Size/shape: 3.5mm (long) x 4mm (wide) faceted bicones.  Bicones are like two pyramids joined at the base, with the hole running through the centers of the pyramids.  Unlike molded bicones, which have 4 sides, cut-crystal bicones have 7 sides.
Colors/description: Even with a magnifying glass, it is hard to tell what's going on with these beads.  They have a silvery finish (or perhaps it's hematite), yet they look mostly charcoal gray with flashes of blue.
Hole size: 1mm (estimated).
Defects: The beads appear to be in good shape.
How photographed: At the window in natural daylight.
Comments: The picture did not come out looking like the actual beads.  When I look at the actual beads, only a small percentage of them look blue; but the picture makes it look like most beads are blue.  The actual beads look mostly charcoal gray with flashes of blue.
