If I recall correctly, I made several of these pages, showcasing the various colours dichro beads came in.

solid cased and jacketed hollow green dichro beads shown with source strip. Effetre, Photographed 18jul2007.

Perhaps the most interesting comment I ever got about the jacketed hollows (the largest bead, on its side) is that they would be impossible to make in boro: they'd all crack. They cracked often enough even in soft glass, one reason I mostly stopped making them.

Though not terribly complex, I happen to think they're rather pretty.
