Wouldnt you know that the most beautiful beads are also among the rarest! I'd love to own just one of these beauties. When I couldn't find any on the Picard site I figured they'd be awfully hard to find... Thanks so much form the information. I'll keep an eye out, but think it must be a long shot to hope they might be mixed in other beads . especially now when people are going over old strands to cherry pick for their own collections. (Well, I know I am!)
