15.5mm (long) x 5mm (wide) x 3mm (thick) dagger-shaped beads with the hole running sideways through the narrow end. |

Light violet with a bright gold-luster coating (see Comments below). |

| Defects: |
I haven't noticed any defects. |
| 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. Also, the close-up shots may show defects that the human eye can't discern. |
| Comments: |
The official name of this color is "smoky topaz/gold luster". What that implies is that the glass is a light smoky topaz color (light brown or gold). However, when you look at the beads in bright light, you can definitely see a violet color. The violet color may be caused by light reflections within the bead. Covering a bead with a gold coating will create pink or violet light reflections inside the beads. Please note that these beads are more expensive than most dagger beads I have carried in the past, thus the high price. Also, the supplier says they are 16mm, but they measure at 15.5mm. |
