Click to enlarge
Price Per Lot: $3.50
Lots Available: 43
Style No. (bin): G2273 (dqa~m)

Style no.: G2273
Beads per lot: 85
Cost per bead: 4.1 cents
Bead material: Glass
Country of origin: Czech Republic
Size/shape: 11mm (long) x 3.5mm (wide) x 3.5mm (thick) dagger-shaped beads.
Colors/description: Translucent light yellow with a dark-iris coating on part of each bead.  The iris coating has various colors in it, such as gold, brown, purple and blue.  Some beads may also have a silvery luster coating on them, although it is hard to tell.
Hole size: 1mm (estimated).
Defects: These dagger beads aren't quite as perfect as some that I have carried.  Some of them are rounded at the end instead of pointed, and a few are simply malformed.  I dropped the price by 50 cents per lot.
How photographed: Under two daylight-balanced lamps.  Note:  Using lamps leaves two bright spots on each bead -- especially on round beads -- but that can't be helped.  The close-up shot may show defects that the human eye can't discern.
Comments: These are interesting beads.  They have the same general appeal as gold-apollo beads (which have a gold coating on part of each bead), but the colors are more varied and complex.  The beads are sold in lots of 85 beads because they come strung that way.
