You are buying 10 (Ten) NEW 1/8" DIAMETER by 12" LONG PURPLE TRANSLUCENT EXTRUDED ACRYLIC RODS. They are approx 3.175MM diameter. (Eighth inch Diameter x Twelve inch Long) These rods are PURPLE TRANSLUCENT EXTRUDED ACRYLIC RODS. The color of the rods will vary depending on the back round and light conditions due to being translucent. The last picture is a representation of the flexibility of the rods, as they are only 1/8" in diameter. Please keep this in mind if you are looking for something rigid. The color of the rod in this photo may not be the color you have ordered and will be receiving. They are not rigid but flexible. However, if the rods are put under pressure, they will snap.To assure that you get the finest quality, the protective sleeve is kept in place on the rods while being cut to protect the acrylic. All rods have saw cut edges on both ends. Saw cutting can cause micro chips on the ends of the rod as seen in the pictures. Please allow a length tolerance of +/- 1/16" and there could be a small diameter variance as well on all pieces.
