Original Message:   Maroon Opal 3-Sided Czech Pressed Glass Beads

"Opal" seems to be the term used by either the Czechs or the Czech importers to refer to a slightly clouded, milky version of various hues - pink, red, purple, blue, yellow, green... The translucency is not uniform, and appears more as cloudy swirls in the glass. The beads in the photo are maroon opal - my camera made the red too bright, they face up maroon. But hopefully the difference in transparency from bead to bead is visible. Copyright 2024 All rights reserved by Bead Collector Network and its users
