These beads have a Lucite core with a silver
mirror plated finish and coated with several layers
of colored lacquer.
When viewed in the light, they appear to have a
bead within the bead.
The light passes through the lacquer, which reflects
the mirror core back through the layers.
This results in an illusion of depth, hence
the "miraculous"? effect.
Miracle Beads come in 3 different qualities - the best grade
is from Japan.
They are also made in Taiwan and Mainland China.
Ours are the best available from China.
