- Blue, brown and grey small powderglass beads 5x7mm on 30-inch strand
- These date from the mid-1970 to early 1980s when striped Krobo powerglass beads began appearing, but before the introduction of commercial pigments
- The striped effect is created by layering different colors of pulverized glass into small depression in a clay mold. The mold, and all the beads-to-be, are heated until the glass just fuses. These got a little hotter than most because they almost all have a bit of a glossy finish, whereas most powderglass is matte.
- These are nice reminder of a bygone era in Krobe powderglass
