Price Per Lot: $4.60
Lots Available: 23
Style No. (bin): F606 (bpas~m)

Style: F606
Beads per lot: 25
Cost per bead: 18.4 cents
Bead material: Glass
Country of origin: Czech Republic
Size/shape: 6mm (thick) x 9mm (wide) faceted rondelles; a rondel is any round bead which is wider than it is long.  (Please note that many beads are 8.5mm wide rather than 9mm.)
Colors/description: Opaque light lavender with a yellow-brown picasso coating on the smooth portions of the beads around the holes.  The lavender color is very light, almost white.  Each bead has a seam in the middle which is slightly darker than the surrounding glass.
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'm not sure how attractive this combination of colors is (lavender white and yellow-brown), but the beads certainly look interesting.

The supplier's price was very high, thus I have to charge a lot for them.  Faceted rondelles have traditionally been very expensive.
