18mm leaf-shaped beads with embossed veins; they could also be called heart-shaped.  The beads are a bit more than 6mm thick.

Clear beads with a metallic luster coating.  The coating is alternately bronze, blue and purple.

Defects:

At first I thought the beads were perfect, but then I noticed that there are some small imperfections around the edges.  In my estimation, the edge defects are fairly minor and I haven't lowered the price.  If you disagree, let me know and I'll give you a refund.  Except for the minor edge defects, the beads are astonishingly perfect.

Comments:

These beads are truly magnificent.  I was very surprised to find such nice beads being made in China.  The price of the beads was very high, but I think it's worth it for such good, large beads.  I am using the supplier's picture until I make my own picture.  Here is another picture from the supplier:
