AThey are not the same.

Regular glass beads are made from a variety of melted glass that do not include lead. They come in different shapes, colors and effects. The price is cheap.

Crystal glass beads are made with a higher lead content, which gives them a higher refractive index and makes them more sparkly and reflective than regular glass beads, such as K9 Glass Beads，sometimes referred to as K9 crystal, The number 9 refers to the lead oxide content of the glass (9%).K9 glass has high optical clarity, and the price is more higher.

Natural crystal beads are made of crystal quartz, whose main chemical component is silicon dioxide. It has higher luster and sparkle, natural inclusions. The price is the highest.

A

For original transparent glass beads and cat eye beads, you can wash them, but do not use warm or high temperature water to avoid damaging the color of the beads and losing their luster.

For Painted, electroplated, opaque, Imitation Jade glass beads, it is not recommended to wash them. If the beads are dirty, you can try to wipe them gently with a damp cloth. You can wipe one bead first, and if there is no problem, you can continue to wipe the rest.
