Having worked in a photo studio, I would suggest that high localised temps are easily achieved. This may be the problem. Hard to believe that stresses exist after 2500years. I'm sure Corning will find out and tell us! Interesting that this happened. Having worked in a photo studio, I would suggest that high localised temps are easily achieved. This may be the problem.

Bead makers can often learn a lot more from a broken bead than from a pristine one. If you are concerned about heat - switch to LED light sources. They produce almost no heat and are excellent for producing good color rendition. As a bead maker I enjoyed the up-close photos of the broken bead, but would love to see more.

It could have taken a few thousand years for the stress to let go completely !
