The listing, Huge Lot Stone Beads - variety variety! has ended.
Like all beaders I guess, I have a huge number of beads I hang onto but don't love. Nothing wrong with 'em; in fact, my family is somewhat aghast at my choices. But even beads need love, right? I decided to take Listia's destash challenge and see if I can trade these in for beads that will make my eyes sparkle as well as my jewelry.
This is the Stones lot. I really wish I could identify these stones for you - it's frustrating for me too. That set, for example, *looks* like turquoise...but is it? And then there are those utterly maddening black beads with the bumpy shape. Long ago, when I first got them, I KNEW what they were. Gone. Menopause-head. Feel free to email with any questions and I'll do my best to answer. In any case, it seems safest to just list as-is and make no guesses.
Good luck with your bids and make sure to check out the four other de-stash listings this week!
A little unusual request here: some of these credits will go toward finding the perfect beads for a rosary for my friend {Michelle}: please join me in praying for her. If you need religious jewelry and can't afford it, let me know.
