Comments:

I posted a new batch of these beads in December, 2016, and I made new pictures.  The pictures show that the color of the glass is not perfectly consistent from one bead to the next and also is sometimes not consistent within the beads themselves.  However, the pictures are enlargements, and these mild defects are not very apparent when using the actual beads.
