    "Please note: the beads we received were no where near as colorful as those pictured, but rather shades of gray and beige. We're using this strand as practice, since JTV has such reasonable prices on stones that are strung. We need to perfect our technique, but these are fine as a beginning project."

    "THESE AGATES ARE VERY NICE. THE COLOR IS SOFTER THAN THE PICTURED, BUT STILL HAS THOSE YELLOWS . WHITES , BEIGES . SOME OF THEM HAVE SWIRLS OF DIFFERENT COLORS AS AGATE HAS, AND THEY ARE TRANSLUCENT. THE STRAND IS 16 INCHES WHICH IS NOT SPECIFIED. I LIKE THEM VERY MUCH."
