**TRANSLUCENT: describes a semi-transparent bead, whereby one can see light through the bead, although the light is diffused. Translucent beads are sometimes referred to as “Greasy Glass”, although Greasy Glass more accurately describes a translucent bead with a smooth dull polish, or semi-gloss finish.**
