Comments:

I've carried pink opalescent beads several times, and each time they look different.  The first batch was very milky, with some beads being more milky than others.  The second batch was very rosy, almost fuchsia.  This batch is a medium pink, not very milky, with a consistent color from one bead to the next.  Personally, I like these latest beads.  They are more sparkly than the previous batches were.  I have lowered my price by ten cents since the last time I carried them.
