These glass beads are matte cobalt in color with a very odd finish. Odd, but very cool looking. The finish is called marea. The info that we found about morea is as follows: "“Marea finish is similar to an AB coating, in that it is applied to a variety of bead ´base colors’. Marea finish will appear pink to gold, depending on the source of light and the color of bead underneath. It is most commonly found on glass beads from the Czech Republic ("Czech Glass").

The morea finish gives off great colors on the beads. Some of the colors are silver, pink, purple, gold, and blue. When the beads are moved or slightly turned, the colors blend and make some new colors. The finish does not cover the whole bead.

The diameter is about 5mm, and range from 3mm to 3.5mm thick. There are 25 beads per strand. They are rondelle or wafer shaped and are faceted.
