Hi

    I don't know if anyone answered, I was away.... 

    If this is the same thing I bought a few months back (the dealer
    referred to it as 'pink topaz') then these beads have a thin pink
    coating. You can see the coating if you look closely at the hole of
    the bead under magnification. I have had no trouble with them. I have
    used them in a short necklace (which wouldn't dangle down too much
    and be subjected to knocking into things) and (I think) a pair of
    earrings. The only thing I have found to be wrong with them is that
    they don't sell :) Maybe the color doesn't look "real" enough to the
    customer...I don't know. 

    If they are the same, the price should not be that much higher than
    other similar beads....shop around.
