6mm Mixed Opalescent Faceted Round Beads [50]

Style:  F512
 
Cost per bead:  6.8 cents

Bead material:  Glass

Country of origin:  Czech Republic

Size/shape:  6mm round, faceted.

Colors/description:  A mixture of opalescent colors, including:  aqua, blue, green, pink, purple, yellow, orange and white.  Please see my comments below.
 
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 4 hanks of these beads.  While working with them, I noticed that some hanks had more green beads than othes, and some hanks didn't have any aqua beads.  Consequently, the proportion of colors you get may change from one lot to the next.  In addition, the colors are slightly lighter (i.e., more pastel) than the picture indicates.
