Defects:

The picture revealed a few malformed beads, but most appear to be in good shape.  Since the beads are translucent, the holes can be seen running through the beads, and they have a rough or "frosty" appearance, something I've personally never liked.

At the window in natural daylight.

Comments:

I have carried these beads twice, and the second batch appears to be more blue than the first batch.  In fact, I am looking at the beads as I write this, and the portions that are supposed to be yellow look clear to me (perhaps that's because of the kind of light I am using).  Even so, these are nice beads.  I got them from one of my most expensive suppliers, and I lowered the price when I transferred them to the new cart several years ago (they used to be 80 cents higher).
