Amethyst Mosaico Round 12mm Smooth

Extra smooth Murrine (slices of a murrine Murano glass cane). These are called Murrine or mosaico because they do not look like the flower found in Millefiore, rather are an abstract color pattern. Each bead is first made with the slices, then for extra smoothness, the beads are tumbled much like stones which results in a bead with the slices completely smooth. The size is approximately 12mm in diameter though it varies as they are handmade lampwork beads. The colors, placement and exact mosaic slices vary and no two are ever exactly alike. This bead features shades of the amethyst on each bea.
