Light Gray Very light gray (almost white) beads, with occasional faceted crystals with special AB finish, giving them a colorful sparkle. These items are strung on a cable made of very thin filaments of steel wire with a plastic coating. This makes the final product as strong as possible, without sacrificing flexibility. The cable relaxes and drapes even more over time. B508AN |

![]() Like the gemstone, when the glass bead is turned side to side under a light source, light reflects off of tiny filaments perpendicular to the 'grain', or lay of the individual slivers. In the case of natural stone, the filaments are either leftover minerals from when the stone was formed, or a result of how the stone itself crystalized. In glass one process of mimicing a natural occurance involves the fusion of tiny glass slivers into one large block. This large solid block is then cut and polished to best show off its unique refracting properties. |
