Comments:

I love this blue-green combination, but I preferred it with the dark blue (like the original batch).  About the picture:  These beads can appear brighter or darker than the picture indicates depending on the light source.

Here is the supplier's picture.  This was accurate for the previous batch of these beads, but not for the new batch.  The old beads were darker and more perfectly shaped than the new beads, so it appears the quality has gone down a bit (but the price hasn't gone down!).
