My Latest Love

Natural material, not gem quality. Diamond, emerald, etc, - precious. Agate, jasper, Peruvian opal, chrysoprase, lapis, onyx, chalcedony, quartz etc, semi-precious. Unpolished & primitive beads, African Amazonite & excavated, ancient & fossil mats - stone

Don't miss these! A "heads up" on items priced below current market value, for a variety of reasons. Could be an overstock, we got a great deal, we might be watching it become an antique, or we are almost ready to give it away & we will do that sometimes!

Glass, acrylic, bakelite, celluloid, and organic material from Germany, Czech Republic, Austria, Bavaria, Japan, Africa, the USA and probably some other places that I am not thinking about now
