Comments: I think that my supplier sent me these gray beads instead of the turquoise beads I ordered, since I can't find any gray beads in any of my orders.

The presence of yellow speckles on these beads is rather curious.  Gray diamonds have a yellowish appearance, and so the Czech manufacturers make their gray beads with a yellow tinge.  Perhaps they felt that they needed to add a little yellow to these beads for that reason.
