Size/shape: 6mm (thick) x 9mm (wide) faceted rondelles.  A rondelle is a round bead which is wider than it is long (or thick).
Colors/description: A mixture of clear glass, translucent gray glass (I think, but I'm not sure), opaque orange glass, and opaque light grayish-blue glass.  There may be other colors in there that I can't see.
Hole size: 1mm (estimated).
Defects: The beads appear to be in good shape.  However, all fire-polished beads have some imperfect facets.
How photographed: At the window in natural daylight.
Comments: These beads are made from what is generally called "hurricane" glass.  They take the left-over colors from a day of making beads, and they mix them together in swirls.  I've seen hurricane glass that was just muddy, but these are a little nicer than average.

These are dark, moody beads.  They only look bright when bright light is shining directly on them.
