I am glad this subject continued and seems to be resolved amicably.
I have said way too many things I regret and wish I could take back - but can't?
Evaluating objects from photos is obviously very tricky?
Some of beads that show up here ARE incredible!
According to Webster’s that doesn’t necessarily mean too much:

*adjective: incredible
1.impossible to believe.
"an almost incredible tale of triumph and tragedy"
synonyms: unbelievable, beyond belief, hard to believe, unconvincing, far-fetched, implausible, improbable, highly unlikely, dubious, doubtful; More
inconceivable, unthinkable, unimaginable, impossible;
informalhard to swallow, cock-and-bull
"I find his story incredible"
2.difficult to believe; extraordinary.
"the noise from the crowd was incredible"

What I think is really ‘special’, not incredible, is how people could discuss this intelligently and find a way through the confusion with understanding and some compassion for Andrea.
There are many voices on this forum (and some that functionally operate in the shadows).
Some are knowledgeable, respectful people who can converse without their egos getting in the way.
I really admire that and the people that exhibit wonderful objects and converse in community with good will (and sometimes humor). Now that is SPECIAL!

Thanks to so many - especially including Andrea, shinji, Fred & Will among many more……
ps: almost forgot one the most entertaining characters here - Mr. Dogboy!
