This is the first time I've ever ordered yellow dendritic opal. Some of the beads are rather reminiscent of honey jade, but they're definitely more unique and interesting. A couple have very small flat spots, but they're very slight and the holes are all very cleanly cut, which I've found to be really inconsistent with other sellers in general. My picture makes them a little brighter yellow than the softer quality they have in real life. They are not dull, just light, in most lighting. That said, there are a few brighter ones too.
