Drill Hole: Size varies somewhat from one end to the other with some beads demonstrating this more dramatically than the next. Some little chips at inside edge of opening. Diagonal slash “tool” marks on flat area that includes drill holes. Can see inside of bead color is uniform & not white or clear, etc. TWO PHOTOS BETWEEN THE GRAM SCALE & QTIP ARE OF A SINGLE BEAD SHOWING EACH END. Take notice of the differences.
