The black inclusions are usually in small depressions on the surface of the bead. Please see the photos for detail.
Each strand is about 11-12cm long and weighs about 8-10g.
Multiple strands are available. They are quite similar, and the photo shows a representative example. If you would like to see a photo of the specific strand you order, let us know.

COLORS: Our photos are taken in different lighting in an attempt to show how beads look in different lighting conditions. We make every effort to show colors as accurately as possible. The white background photos are taken in daylight conditions. The black background photos are taken in the strong lab light, and would be representative of what they would look like in the evening electric light. Some of the photos are backlit to emphasize their translucency. Note that monitor settings strongly affect the way the colors look. What you see on your monitor may differ from what you see with a naked eye depending on your monitor settings.
