Comments:

When I reposted these beads in December, 2014, I discovered that the old picture was too bright, showing the beads to be more colorful than they are.  So I pulled the picture into my photo-editing program and toned the colors down substantially.  I honestly don't remember if the old batch was more colorful than the new batch, or if the picture was always inaccurate.  In either case, you should know that the picture shows the beads in bright light.  In low light, they can look rather dull.
