6x8mm Gold Coated Matte Nugget-Shaped Beads [50]
Click to enlarge
Price Per Lot: $3.50
Lots Available: 7
Style No. (bin): G2268 (dqas~m3)

Style: G2268
Beads per lot: 50
Cost per bead: 7 cents
Bead material: Glass
Country of origin: Czech Republic
Size/shape: 6mm (from hole to hole) x 8mm (wide).  It's hard to describe the shape, so you'll just need to look at the pictures.
Colors/description: Glass beads (probably white) with a synthetic gold-colored coating which is slightly matte in texture.
Hole size: 1mm (estimated).
Defects: The picture revealed that an occasional bead has a blemish (a scrape or pock mark), but the blemishes are hard to see with the naked eye.  Synthetic coatings are fairly soft, so it is never certain how long they will last.  Certainly they'll last for years, and sometimes they'll last for decades.
How photographed: Under two daylight-balanced lamps.  Note:  Using lamps leaves two bright spots on each bead, but that can't be helped.
Comments: These beads are similar to the G2220 beads, but those beads are much shinier.  These are darker and have a matte finish (although the finish has some shine to it).  These beads were more expensive than the G2220 beads.  I call this shape "nugget", but the supplier calls them "potato" shaped.
