Green and gold bicone beads

These Czech crystal bicones are an interesting bead. The center is flat, like a rondelle. The ends taper, but do not come to a point. The bead is 8 mm at the widest point. The green is translucent and is concentrated in the center of the bead. It is a deep, rich green. The ends are bright gold. The faceting is nice and sharp. Each strand contains about 25 beads and is 10 inches long.
