Size/shape: 10mm (long) x 9mm (wide) x 4mm (thick) flat ovals with hand-polished sides.
Colors/description: Translucent deep cobalt blue with a hematite-colored luster coating on the sides.  The hole runs through the 10mm length.
Hole size: 1mm (estimated).
Defects: All two-sided hand-polished beads are inspected before shipping, and the defective beads are eliminated.  I use my judgement as to which beads are too defective to be used.
How photographed: At the window in natural daylight.
Comments: My picture is very, very poor.  My camera is not good at capturing the deep cobalt color, making all cobalt beads look sapphire.  So I had to shift the hue of the picture, and that left the picture looking muddy and mottled.  Nonetheless, I had to use it because I had no alternative.  Eventually I will find a better camera which has better color rendition (which is not a strong suit of digital cameras in general).  Insofar as the pictures of these beads are concerned, the color of the glass is almost correct, but not quite.  Also, what isn't very visible in the picture is that the luster coating around the sides has a hematite (i.e., gunmetal) color.  In my opinion, the actual beads look better than the picture indicates.
