Long description
Bead of yellow and orange colour in a pattern of swirling veins. The bead varies in levels of translucency depending on the different veins of colour. The corners of the bead have been well rounded and the overall texture of the bead is smooth with a dull finish. About the diameter of the bead runs a darker orange ring, as though the bead is made of two bonded halves. [LKG 20/07/2009]
