Click to enlarge
Price Per Lot: $3.20
Lots Available: 10
Style No. (bin): G2100 (eaa2~)

Style: G2100
Beads per lot: 118+
Cost per bead: 2.7 cents
Bead material: Glass with a synthetic coating
Country of origin: Czech Republic
Size/shape: 4mm round (spherical).
Colors/description: Glass beads, probably white, with a synthetic orange lime green coating.  By synthetic I mean polymer-based.
Hole size: 1mm (estimated).
Defects: The coating on Czech coated beads is fairly thin, and I don't know how durable it will be (although I expect that it should last for years, but perhaps not for decades).  Synthetic coatings can be pulled off, so you should not pull on it around the holes.  A few beads may have some anomalies in the coating, such as bumps, indentations, bubbles or a bit of dirt.  Inevitably, a few beads will be missing a bit of coating around one of the holes (a common defect).  Some beads may have "tags" of excess coating around the holes; the tags can be clipped off with small scissors or, better yet, cuticle nippers.
How photographed: At the window in natural daylight.
Comments: I love this rich orange.  Although I'm not fond of synthetic coatings in general, sometimes they look better than glass.  The actual beads may be slightly darker than the way the picture makes them look.

Caleb's notes: I should have gotten more than just 2 mass.
