Thanks, I am having lots of fun at the Bazaar, actually. Mostly bargaining for good prices on scarves, boxes and modern Afghan style beads and jewelry. I have been afraid to pay too much for what looks like "old" beads because whether or not they are old, I have no idea what they are worth. I take these beads and my other inexpensive semi-precious stone beads to my kids classes and let them make art project grown-up bead necklaces for Mother's day-I help put on clasps. Last year I brought two stone seals (I picked up on my first deployment) to school when they learned about how Jesus's tomb was "sealed" in the Bible. They used the stone beads and playdough to make their own "seals". I thought, and am now unsure, if the seals are really a couple thousand years old. The kids think it is cool, but I want to be sure and know and tell the truth. I will probably love the beads just as much if they are reproductions. I appreciate the help on this website.
