LOVELY beads -- These little guys are fascinating! Some are water-clear; some have internal discolorations; a few have inclusions... while each one has a lovely glass-like finish, each bead is unique and 'perfectly imperfect', which is EXACTLY what I was hoping for -- natural and BEAUTIFUL! Packaged SO CAREFULLY and shipped out very quickly, too! It's always such a pleasure to do business with StonesDirect! : )
