At the window in natural daylight.

Comments:

For reasons I don't understand, Czech cubes are always shorter than they are wide; perhaps they think that shape looks better than a perfect cube.

 

The cubes that I carried in 2007 had square edges and corners.  Personally, I prefer the appearance of those earlier cubes.  However, these beads (with rounded edges and corners) are nice enough.  Since I last posted them, I have lowered the price by 30 cents.
