At the window in natural daylight.

Comments:

When celsian coatings first came out, they were more brown than they are today.  Now they look like a mixture of topaz and bronze.  In other words, if the light is not reflecting off the beads, they look green with a topaz coating; but if the light is reflecting off the beads, you see bronze in the reflections.

Please note that these beads are almost identical to the F401 beads.  These beads are from a different manufacturer, and they are a little more yellow-green than the F401 beads.
