7mm Olive Green Celsian Faceted Oval Beads [50]

Style:  F514
 
Cost per bead:  8.4 cents

Bead material:  Glass

Country of origin:  Czech Republic

Size/shape:  7mm (long) x 5mm (wide) faceted ovals.  The facets give the ovals an angular appearance.

Colors/description:  Translucent yellowish olive green with a brownish metallic "celsian" surface.
 
Hole size:  1mm (estimated).

Defects:  I haven't noticed any significant defects.  However, fire-polished beads always have some imperfect facets.

How photographed:  At the window in natural daylight.

Comments:  I like both the olive color and the celsian coating of these beads.  Most celsian coatings look gold, but this one is brownish, which is unusual and interesting.

The light reflections in the picture are distracting, but they show that the facets on these beads are generally smooth.  If you look around the large image, you'll find beads that aren't obscured by reflections.
