Colors/description: Milky or opalescent alexandrite (alexandrite appears blue under some kinds of light and violet under others).
Hole size: 1mm (estimated).
Defects: I haven't noticed any significant defects.  However, fire-polished beads always have some imperfect facets.
How photographed: At the window in natural daylight.
Comments: These beads are really lovely.  In bright light, they are very milky and pastel, and in lower light they are a rich lavender or violet.  This is one of the few beads I have seen that looks as good in low light as in bright light (low light, not darkness).  My picture shows the beads about midway between the two extremes.
