Original Message:   Selenium? Cadmium? "Beads of the World" by Peter Francis, Jr.
See page 61 for brief discussion of both -

Yellows...sulpher, cadmium, uranium

Reds...copper, gold, selenium

And see Chinese Glass Beads (also in the same book) on p 85 nice examples of the beads being discussed - Steve of HoH is on the acknowledgements list.

Though the photos leave a lot to be desired, I still love this book. It's just a wonderful overview and full of good information. It's out of print as far as I know, but still available new from Amazon for 13.57...a great value.
