Jamey,
You did see my correction on the layers ? Any way, my bead is then a wound overlay bead w/ a yellow core & an outer translucent rose red core.It does not have any lacquer on the bead."How do I know it is there".... You can see it.Many 5 layer Rosetta star beads have a clear outer layer & most that do determines a 5 layer from a 4 layer bead.See example of a five layer w/ a translucent clear outer layer.
Patrick.
