6mm Chrysolite Green Celsian Square Beads [50]
Style: G1916
Beads per lot: 50
Cost per bead: 7 cents
Bead material: Glass
Country of origin: Czech Republic
Size/shape: 6mm squares, about 3mm thick.
Colors/description: Translucent light olive green with a golden-brown celsian coating. The celsian coating appears somewhat metallic, and it appears to be heat-sealed (fired-polished) onto the beads.
Hole size: 1mm (estimated).
Defects: The beads appear to be in good shape. However, the holes (which you can see through the glass) appear rough and frosty.
How photographed: At the window in natural daylight.
Comments: I like these beads, although, as I say above, I don't care for the rough-looking holes. As 6mm beads go, they were expensive.
