6x9mm Turquoise Picasso Faceted Rondelle Beads [25]
Style: | F584 |
Beads per lot: | 25 |
Cost per bead: | 16.8 cents |
Bead material: | Glass |
Country of origin: | Czech Republic |
Size/shape: |
6mm (thick) x 9mm (wide) faceted rondelles. Rondelles are round beads which are wider than they are long. This shape is generally referred to as "gemstone". |
Colors/description: |
Turquoise (i.e., opaque greenish-aqua) with a brown mottled "Picasso" coating. The coating makes the beads look somewhat green. The beads that have a heavy coating look more green, and the beads that have a light coating look more aqua. |
Hole size: | 1mm (estimated). |
Defects: | I haven't noticed any significant defects. However, fire-polished beads always have some imperfect facets. |
How photographed: | At the window in natural daylight. |
Comments: |
I have carried 6x9mm turquoise picasso beads before, but they were sufficiently different that I am assigning these beads a new number. The ones that I carried most recently had a more colorful coating, whereas the coating on these beads is just brown. However, these beads are much less expensive. |
