Size/shape: |
15mm (from tip to tip) x 9mm (wide) crystal teardrops with the hole running sideways through the narrow end. These are Preciosa-brand cut-crystal beads, not fire-polished beads.
|
Colors/description: |
Clear beads with a brownish-gold coating made to look like the mineral celsian. The coating is not synthetic.
|
Hole size: |
1mm (estimated). |
Defects: |
These are high-quality cut-crystal beads. Despite that, some beads may have a few small nicks at the edges of some facets. I am inspecting the beads individually, and I am eliminating beads that have larger nicks, but I am not eliminating beads that have very small nicks. If you are dissatisfied with the beads, please contact me.

How photographed: |

Comments: |
These are leaded-glass beads, but they pose no hazard to anyone. It is my belief that celsian coatings are heat-sealed (fire-polished) to the beads, but I'm not sure how that's possible with cut-crystal beads, which are not fire-polished. I'm not sure that my picture is entirely accurate. It came out too dark and too brown and I had to do a lot of fixing-up to the picture.
