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.
