PICASSO BEADS

Picasso beads have a goldstone marbling or mottling; that is, they have streaks of gold color running randomly through them.   Their color is a bit off-center. For example, the white has a strong underlying pink tone.  The Brown is very mustard gold. The Yellow is a greenish-yellow, and gets yellow-er over time.  The red is very red-orange. The pink very salmon.    The color varies widely from batch to batch, especially the greens.    The white fades in sunlight, making the color go from a very pinkish to a white.   The pink color is more expensive than the other colors.
