Next to the black bead is a dark gray bead which is actually like an opaque black bead.I can't wait to get some of these in my shop!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtJhIA9j8AfrkC_dyp1FMItN5p-kNmMp0-7uYj7WZ3fUBTqNpgkaTFr6QNgoK4DEaFWZcVA_jAnJS1ReLKcDfYcfUypWyX6Kz2bNUwkiXIPNCzrcSBeSvsknYApSQvLvcYV-2FoXwhY_5k/s1600-h/black+green+swirl.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 96px; height: 96px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtJhIA9j8AfrkC_dyp1FMItN5p-kNmMp0-7uYj7WZ3fUBTqNpgkaTFr6QNgoK4DEaFWZcVA_jAnJS1ReLKcDfYcfUypWyX6Kz2bNUwkiXIPNCzrcSBeSvsknYApSQvLvcYV-2FoXwhY_5k/s320/black+green+swirl.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5319847150766968786" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCN-ffhWfaKyOIGN-Bqglv7AoZanbbctirLhrIfMbKhBrcq1L9luVXmNYa2okxiBvnPNgv4camovUSh2Myy8nRyyDkMLjQj-w_KTBNYEuzIfIjFepi13sBQOO5k1pEsEX9qF4hAi63y0Vu/s1600-h/dark+green.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 96px; height: 96px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCN-ffhWfaKyOIGN-Bqglv7AoZanbbctirLhrIfMbKhBrcq1L9luVXmNYa2okxiBvnPNgv4camovUSh2Myy8nRyyDkMLjQj-w_KTBNYEuzIfIjFepi13sBQOO5k1pEsEX9qF4hAi63y0Vu/s320/dark+green.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5319847270293162066" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtlPlw0JJyr1VqDdkahB3tFY0Ry4rDgak29fLOu7OH89_KCiIpi3Ap45EQbXHvkxqUAm_zKic_BZ0t8Ss04_4sxVknMsfGApdIJeYbyJ6da_3tqqxiNifoWdLNTlYXxey8Wz_UndANlA4p/s1600-h/opal+seafoam.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 96px; height: 96px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtlPlw0JJyr1VqDdkahB3tFY0Ry4rDgak29fLOu7OH89_KCiIpi3Ap45EQbXHvkxqUAm_zKic_BZ0t8Ss04_4sxVknMsfGApdIJeYbyJ6da_3tqqxiNifoWdLNTlYXxey8Wz_UndANlA4p/s320/opal+seafoam.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5319847657686505042" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRA41lWOpeNlxoRsVp4qTa_w6ZyLewTiMe9548E5LkCcplXYP5jgZ9dZTqxpwCZwcATsKaYmE_mdrO99e7uAnNLWvLOOdASf9LmfijeWLbDabfz7Vw3OvofL2CY0nKGnIaFFnxT9pdxf70/s1600-h/cobalt.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 96px; height: 96px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRA41lWOpeNlxoRsVp4qTa_w6ZyLewTiMe9548E5LkCcplXYP5jgZ9dZTqxpwCZwcATsKaYmE_mdrO99e7uAnNLWvLOOdASf9LmfijeWLbDabfz7Vw3OvofL2CY0nKGnIaFFnxT9pdxf70/s320/cobalt.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5319848003637165202" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrN7ZsbzgQAMw2z0D62DB0XXlRjfZRbDbo1zFtyDmWYeOp1VFNR5gyJ0RZOc-O3gHf4sl_G_jLOpC842qm_NeODA3yxSTzp7kbOv_rfkxUPlmn9Zjvwy8r09aFtjqyv9DNc_fOTCkLjKjf/s1600-h/cobalt+crystal.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 96px; height: 96px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrN7ZsbzgQAMw2z0D62DB0XXlRjfZRbDbo1zFtyDmWYeOp1VFNR5gyJ0RZOc-O3gHf4sl_G_jLOpC842qm_NeODA3yxSTzp7kbOv_rfkxUPlmn9Zjvwy8r09aFtjqyv9DNc_fOTCkLjKjf/s320/cobalt+crystal.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5319848056124813554" border="0" /></a><br />The first green bead shown here has wonderful shades of green and black in a swirled pattern around the bead.
