Size/shape: 8mm flat flowers, 4mm thick.
Colors/description: Translucent medium-light teal with an AB (silvery) coating on one side of each bead. The coating on some beads looks yellowish.

Comments: Generally speaking, I'm not a fan of AB coatings. "AB" means "aurora borealis", and the coating is meant to reflect a rainbow of colors. Most often, however, they just look silvery. Nonetheless, I've found that AB coatings look good on certain colors, such as this one. I think they would look better, however, if the coating didn't look yellowish on many of the beads.
