This lovely bead doesn't photograph well, but it has a black background and swirls of a rusty gold in the lower hallf. It measures 50x40mm and is in a lovely bell shape.

The necklace is 17 inches long and has a mixture of 10mm black agate, what I think are african opal and czech bead rondelles.

It is not a very heavy necklace, but it certainly is a fall or winter color.

The bead might be a tiger iron since it has the colors. But the swirls make me think of an opal. Either way, it is a lovely bead.
