15mm Greenish Turquoise Dagger Beads [50]
Style: |
G2298 |
Beads per lot: |
50 |
Cost per bead: |
8 cents |
Bead material: |
Glass |
Country of origin: |
Czech Republic |
Size/shape: |
15mm (long) x 5mm (wide) x 4mm (thick) dagger-shaped beads with the hold running sideways through the narrow end. Most beads are actually about 15.2mm or 15.3mm long. The supplier advertises them as being 16mm long. |
Colors/description: |
Opaque green or greenish turquoise. The beads are so green that calling them "turquoise" is probably inaccurate, but that's what the supplier calls them. |
Hole size: |
1mm (estimated). |
Defects: |
Czech beads are always a sandwich of two halves, and with opaque beads they put translucent glass between the beads. Consequently, all the beads have a dark-green stripe down the middle. The stripe is more pronounced on some beads than others. |
How photographed: |
At the window in natural daylight. |
Comments: |
Be sure to read "Colors/description" and "Defects" above. When I was beading, I never used dagger beads, so I don't say much about them. However, I need to carry more colors. |
