Cost per bead:

5 cents

Bead material:

Glass

Country of origin:

Czech Republic

Size/shape:

6mm bicone-shaped with rounded corners (a bicone is like two pyramids joined at the base, with the hole running through their centers).

Colors/description:

Translucent teal (greenish-aqua).

Hole size:

1mm (estimated).

Defects:

The beads appear to be in good shape, although there is one bead in the picture that appears to be malformed.  Bicones don't always appear to be a uniform shape because their appearance changes depending on the angle.

How photographed:

At the window in natural daylight.

Comments:

The beads aren't lined up evenly in the picture because they are strung too tight.  They are on a very fine thread which allows them to misalign under such conditions.  I'm not sure that my picture got the color quite right, but it is close.
