Comments:

These beads were in my old shopping cart and never got transferred over.  They contain the alexandrite color, which changes depending on the light source.  Thus, the colors will look different under incandescent light than they look under fluorescent light (I can't remember right now how they look in sunlight).  Right now I'm using LED lights, and they look rosier than the picture indicates.
