Comments: When I purchased these beads, I must have been in a fog because I paid an extraordinarily high price for them, much higher than I'm usually willing to pay.  Consequently, I have to make my own price much higher than usual (and even so, I am not taking my usual markup).  I don't think that these beads are so remarkable that the supplier should have charged so much for them; obviously, they were just charging what they could get away with.

I cheated on the picture.  Years ago I sold beads that I called "burnt umber"; those beads were darker and redder.  So I shifted the color of that picture, and lightened it, and got this picture.  However, it came out really well, and I don't think that it would have been any better if I had taken a new picture from scratch.

Caleb's notes: I got four mass, but I should have gotten five mass to get the discount.  I must not have been thinking.  Also, I didn't notice that the beads were extraordinarily expensive.
