Our Tundra Fire beads capture the shifting, brilliant colors of the Aurora dancing over a frozen landscape. This Crystal Marea bead features a transparent crystal base with a specialized Czech coating that flashes intense bursts of gold, copper, and violet. It mimics the warmth of a survival fire reflecting off the faceted edges of river ice.
In Alaskan beadwork, Tundra Fire is a 'special effect' bead used to add movement and mystery to a design. Because the Marea coating is applied to only one side of the clear glass, the bead changes appearance as it moves, shifting from a fiery metallic to a clear glacial shimmer. It is a stunning choice for representing the flickering light of the midnight sun on water or adding a modern, prismatic edge to traditional ceremonial regalia. These beads are for the artist looking to capture the untamed energy of the North."

Finish: Czech Coating (Crystal Marea)
