The “straight white lines” on this bead are light reflections.

Delivery: Please allow one week for delivery, longer for international orders. Weather permitting, I ship the following business day after payment has been received and cleared. Beads will be shipped with delivery confirmation.

Discussion: I think this bead would make an excellent centerpiece in a necklace and believe that it would also make an interesting subject for, or addition to, a wire wrapping project. I also think that this bone-shaped bead makes for a unique discussion piece and that its bumpy spiraling texture really adds a nice tactile feel to it. This bead is created from glass, and like all glass it can chip or break if dropped/thrown/crushed or otherwise abused. This bead is NOT suitable for small children, and poses a choking hazard if swallowed.

Further comment: I like this piece because it has a neat texture that goes from bumpy to smooth. The texture reminds me a bit of soap suds. It’s not often that one sees a bone in this shade of purple or with this kind of design. There is a small silver-colored bubble inside of the glass at the smooth end. I think that the bubble adds even more interest to the bead – like a little hidden planet within. If you’re into bones, the color purple, or if you have a very unique fashion sense, then this bone-shaped glass bead is for you. I am pleased to be able to provide this bone as the fifth piece that I am offering for sale online. Note me if you are interested in purchasing it. The LEGO^TM Minifigure is not for sale.
