Size/shape: |
15mm (from tip to tip) x 9mm (wide) crystal teardrops with the hole running sideways through the narrow end. These are Preciosa-brand cut-crystal beads, not fire-polished beads.
|
Colors/description: |
Clear beads with a dark-brown iris coating on about half of each bead. The dark brown looks a little metallic, and "iris" refers to the fact that the coating reflects different colors, especially purple and blue.
|
Hole size: |
1mm (estimated). |
Defects: |
These are high-quality cut-crystal beads. Despite that, some beads may have a few small nicks at the edges of some facets. (Unfortunately, the coating makes those nicks more visible.) I am inspecting the beads individually, and I am eliminating beads that have larger nicks, but I am not eliminating beads that have very small nicks. If you are dissatisfied with the beads, please contact me.

Comments: |
These are leaded-glass beads, but they pose no hazard to anyone. The supplier calls these beads "zairite", but they look like brown iris to me, so I used that term. I think they're very interesting.
