Comments:

When the beads are viewed in person, the swirls of opaque orange are more distinct than they appear in the picture.  Otherwise, the picture is fairly accurate.  The supplier, incidentally, calls these "ruby" beads, but there is nothing red in the color as far as I can see.  They are clearly orange.

Here is the supplier's picture, which shows the swirls much better than my picture shows them: 

I must be doing something wrong with my pictures, because this image is much better than mine.  Perhaps I need a better camera.  Actually, my use of natural daylight is probably the problem.  Undiffused artificial light results in a much sharper image (but the intense light reflections are usually unacceptable to me).
