A few more of the beads we picked up at the Tucson show. We had more of an opportunity to get to visit with Sandra representing Yone SF which I understand is the oldest bead shop in San Francisco. Sandra has a wonderful selection of beads so if your in Tucson next year make sure you stop in for a visit.
The first bead is a very colorful agate, in fact the most colorful ancient agate bead we now own.
If anyone viewing this bead has an opinion on its origin I am most interested.
18.25mm in diameter 14.5mm wide
The second bead has a wonderful shape and at first I thought it might be white Nephrite jade, after examining it with a loupe it looks like very nice white Chalcedony. I think Suzi has taken over ownership of this bead and I can’t blame her. One nice thing about this is that it is now in our permanent collection.
33.9mm wide 21.2mm tall and 11.3mm thick
All my best ........ Danny
