Well, the delayed shipments started to arrive!
1) 8mm malachite beads, good dark/deep green, well rounded. 1 strand mostly dark green, minimal banding. 2-3 strand good banding, slightly lighter color. Works well with the more baroque hand-rounded beads we got this summer (a few strands of those left)
2) 4mm flourite. Mostly green, some pink/blue in the mix. $3.99 strand, not bad, while they last. Look great with almost anything!
3) Some good tiger eye bracelets -- double drilled beads of various shapes from rectangular with high dome, to square with a lower dome. Grade varies from A+ to C+. Priced accordingly. These beads (cut apart the bracelets) make great double stranded spacers!
4) Faceted tiger eye beads, A-/B- grade. Looked better in the photos, and descriptions, but still pretty good. I'll probably cut up the strands and grade/price out each bead matching up chatoyance and size if they don't sell this week <G>
5) Fetishes -- more frogs and turtles! Pendants of a unique nature.
6) Drilled natural stone tongues in a small to mini size. Probably meant to be used as "fans" but great for necklaces, spacers and such. Jaspers, leapard skin, tiger eye, etc. Odd shapes/sizes.
7) Kunzite! Two great strands! Listed as B-/C+ I'd give them a solid B-!! Some great pinks!! First comes, first picks :) Strands are $120 ea. (both for $200 while available) , individual beads $4-$7 if you want to separate a strand. Delicate gemstone, but very popular and "in demand" now. I've seen much lower quality beads marked at much higher grade -- and price!
8) Storage cups -- 70mm, 64mm, and 49mm clear plastic, with 1/4 twist "snug" lids. We use them by the gross in the shop for packaging and display. $2.80 ea package (4-70mm, 6-64mm or 8-49mm in each package).
9) 24mm square plastic bead containers (like mill hill uses). Similar to the ones by Aileen in the craft stores *EXCEPT* EVERY ONE HAS A LID!! 10-cups, 10-lids. They do stack if you want them to. We use them for packaging as well as display. Great deal! I have them for $3.99 pack of 10, but on special now for $2.99 if you mention this! (I'm not going to reprice them, or remember, so mention this!! <G>)
10) More !! Still pending, sodalite, lapis rounds in 4, 6, 8 and 10mm, Ocean jasper pillow and rounds, center piece and spacers, and misc jaspers. Delays, delays delays!
