<p>[QUOTE="MTswirls, post: 951651, member: 10594"]The holes are not uniform. Even the same bead will have a large hole on one end and a small hole on the other. There are also a lot of fractures and cracks on the beads, yet the surface is completely smooth. I would expect glass to just chip or break and not develop interior cracks. Some beads have swirls of milky color and are slightly lighter or darker in certain spots. I don't know if that indicates anything. I think the finish is more satiny, but it's hard for me to decipher if its different from glass because the beads are shiny.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
