This bead has a pointy air bubble right on the core...I just wanted to know whether it is could cause problems (cracking etc)? I made it several months ago and it seems ok so far - but I obviously don't want to sell it if it's likely to fall to pieces or something!

Any idea?

I'd say that if it been Annealed properly then you've relieved all the potential stress within, that area and not to worry about it, I use Air bubbles quite a lot in dot implosions and ive not had one crack , even when they've not been annealed until sometime after.
