<p>[QUOTE=&quot;wenna, post: 2065446, member: 541&quot;]Did some more &#039;testing&#039; before hitting Create Thread.&nbsp; The color is clearly artificial, but I still can&#039;t tell if it is enhancing a natural patterning on the beads or if that is artificial too.&nbsp; I tried to strip the finish off one with acetone which didn&#039;t touch it.&nbsp; I used that one which isn&#039;t actually on the strand, just hanging on the thread (upper right).&nbsp; Could resin beads be that heavy (there are 63 beads altogether)?&nbsp; They are about 3/8&quot;.&nbsp; Still not sure if they are stone or not.</p><p>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p><p>My original post...</p><p>Please help!&nbsp; I am pretty sure these beads are stone but they have a shiny finish like they have been sealed with some type of lacquer or something.&nbsp; Plus they are a strange color (looks almost artificial...dyed maybe?). They are heavy and cold (this is what makes me think stone).&nbsp; Weight is about 93 grams and the strand is about 32&quot; long.&nbsp; Any ideas?&nbsp; Am I totally mistaken?[ATTACH=full]249582[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]249583[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]249584[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]249585[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]249586[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
