I got in a few interesting strands of stuff.
The sugalite is very mixed. Some beads are hot pink, others are black. I'm not sure how to price them, but it's _DEFINITELY_ first come, first served.
I also got in some very, very nice smokey quartz twisted rounds, I guess is the best way to put it. They look like the stylish acrylic beads, but are in smokey quartz.
I also got in some nice rutillated quartz. Looks like tourmaline in most of them. At least that's how it was advertised, and I'm not inclined to disagree.
Some rose quartz 4-6mm rounds, strands are mixed. It was a close out, and sort of a grab bag.
One chunky strand of tumbled rose quartz to go with the rough un-polished chunks I have.
Also, one nice, small strand of 4x4/5x5 mm tourmaline in multi colors (strong colors, not pale). One strand. First come.
Also, the following items were obtained last night, from our wandering gemstone guy:
I have some translucent botswanna agate tubes -- I would say 4mm
X 10 mm -- stunning A/A grade, some Australian Tiger Iron 10mm (?)
beads, I would say an A-/B grade, since they are low on the tiger
eye, but a great maroon/hematite color. Also some 4x10(?) red
jasper and hematite rectangles, some great old glass beads on old
necklaces (I actually think a couple of you jewelry makers would
like them, the beads, that is). Also some 4mm dyed blue agate, one
in turquoise shading and one in a dark blue that matches some
plastic/acrylic beads. A strand of 8mm lapis -- stunning. And a
mixed strand of gemstone beads 8mm. These mixed strands are really
great, and I think I'm going to try to make them a staple of the
shop. There are about a dozen different materials randomly strung.
Ohhhh sooo much more.
The delica mixes are due Thursday, now.
We'll probably unofficially start the "Saturday Night Insanity" (as
it was named by a customer) this week, and see how it goes. Stop by
around 7, til close, and see what shows up. Good deals, one-time
offers, gemstone vendors, jewelry designers, who knows. <G>
