Size/shape: 8mm long teardrop-shaped beads with the hole running sideways through the narrow end.  The beads are about 6mm wide.
Colors/description: Translucent teal (greenish aqua).
Hole size: 1mm (estimated).
Defects: The beads appear to be in good shape.
How photographed: Under two daylight-balanced lamps.  Note:  Using lamps leaves two bright spots on each bead -- especially on round beads -- but that can't be helped.  Also, the close-up shot may show defects that the human eye can't discern.
Comments: I've carried these beads for a long time.  The picture was very old, so I re-photographed the beads when I reposted them in mid-2015.  The old picture showed beads which were much more blue than the new batch.  I don't know if the picture was wrong, or if the older batch had actually been more blue.  I love green, and I think the new color is very nice.  (It's also possible that my old CRT monitor showed the color differently from my newer LCD monitor.)

The actual beads are a little lighter than the picture shows.  For some reason, when photographing translucent beads against a surface, the beads come out looking darker than they actually are.  It has to do with the way the light from the two lamps passes through the beads.

I lowered the price by 20 cents when I reposted the beads in 2015.
