Comments:

The color in the picture isn't quite accurate; the actual beads are a slightly lighter orange.  These are not grade A cat's eye beads (I bought them by mail and didn't know what I would get).  The very best cat's eye beads are opaque and have more pronounced striations.  However, I still think they are nice.  They were very expensive and my markup is actually pretty small.
