| I bought some roundish to baroque 10-11mm, and smaller drops (maybe 9x11mm). I'd been told they were bead nucleated, but as I hadn't read anything about them wasn't 100% sure until I whacked a couple with a hammer (it took a lot of whacks). Bead nucleus in the two I cracked open were both 6mm, appeared to be shell.
They come in white, lavender shades and pink shades. I haven't yet seen any that were perfectly smooth. Luster is a more soft glow that the regular freshwaters.
