Click to enlarge
Price Per Lot: $3.00
Lots Available: 39
Style No. (bin): G2180 (aqa~m)

Style: G2180
Beads per lot: 25
Cost per bead: 12 cents
Bead material: Glass
Country of origin: Czech Republic
Size/shape: 8mm round (spherical).
Colors/description: Glass beads (probably white or clear) with a synthetic pink coating with brown speckles.  I believe, although I'm not sure, that the coating has been heated ("fire-polished") to make it hard, as it seems harder than most polymer-type coatings.
Hole size: 1mm (estimated).
Defects: The quantity of speckles varies from one bead to the next, and even varies from one side of a bead to the other side.  I don't really consider this a defect, but it's something to consider.
How photographed: Under a lamp with a daylight-balanced bulb.
Comments: I carried speckled coated beads from another supplier once, and I really loved them.  These beads are from a new, higher-priced supplier, which is why they are so expensive.
