This is an early bi-cone bead from Andrew, back when he'd make this style occasionally, and it is probably the nicest bead I've ever seen from him. It's from around 2005 or 06, but I don't know the exact year. Fumed air trap dots wrap around the middle, and then beautiful fumed color fade goes out to each end, and it has a matte finish. Truly gorgeous, wonderful glass!! Very hard to let go of...
