6mm Chrysolite Green Celsian Square Beads [50]

Style:  G1916
 
Beads per lot:  50

Cost per bead:  7 cents

Bead material:  Glass

Country of origin:  Czech Republic

Size/shape:  6mm squares, about 3mm thick.

Colors/description:  Translucent light olive green with a golden-brown celsian coating.  The celsian coating appears somewhat metallic, and it appears to be heat-sealed (fired-polished) onto the beads.
 
Hole size:  1mm (estimated).

Defects:  The beads appear to be in good shape.  However, the holes (which you can see through the glass) appear rough and frosty.

How photographed:  At the window in natural daylight.

Comments:  I like these beads, although, as I say above, I don't care for the rough-looking holes.  As 6mm beads go, they were expensive.
