Defects: I eliminate seriously defective beads before shipping.  I can't eliminate every bead which has a slight defect, so I use my judgement as to which defects are so serious that the bead can't be used.  Certainly, cracks, deep or long scratches, large pits, partially polished sides, large spots of picasso coating on the polished surfaces, and malformations are all enough for me to eliminate a bead.  But I may not eliminate a bead if it has a very shallow scratch, small pits, or very small spots of picasso coating on the sides, or other small anomalies that don't ruin the overall appearance (although I often do eliminate such beads).  If you receive any beads with serious defects, that means that I overlooked them, and you should contact me for a pro-rated refund.
How photographed: At the window in natural daylight.
Comments: IMPORTANT:  The supplier sent me two batches of these beads.  The first batch was 9mm (long) x 8mm (wide) x 4.5mm (thick).  The second batch is larger and thicker.  They are 9mm (long) x 9mm (wide) x 6mm (thick).  The diamond on these thicker beads is more square than on the thinner beads.  Personally, I like these thicker beads, but I don't know how you'll feel.  (The thinner batch is pictured.)
