I bought these on the value of other Adventurine beads I've used. I wanted something in the yellow/orange range to complement a carbocon I am designing a piece around. These beads provide a range of clear to light yellow/orange all the way through to a sunset orange/red. I am very pleased. I bought 3 strands of the 6mm size and the size of the beads are very consistent between 6-6.5 mm, there were 59 beads per strand, and there are no beads that appear damaged or pock marked, The only issue I would have is that the strands were slightly shorter than advertised. Each of the strands had the length of 14 5/8in. Overall, I'm very satisfied.
