I haven't noticed any significant defects.  However, fire-polished beads always have some imperfect facets.  To read about the fire-polishing process, click here.

At the window in natural daylight.

Comments:

As I said above, I'm not able to tell if the inner bead is yellowish olive or just yellow.  In bright light, these beads appear very yellow-green.  In lower light, they look more olive green.
