The dark bead here has the thickest glazing effect of all these beads you can actually feel a raised surface along the decoration with your fingernail. I've seen many etched beads with the decoration slightly recessed, I think the etched part becomes slightly softer from the treatment & wears down over time more than the surrounding stone. Not so with this bead. Another blacked line bead, overcooked. Copyright 2024 All rights reserved by Bead Collector Network and its users
