I visited one of the shops run by the Boshan based chevron factory that posted in our forum a few months ago. The chevron production is similar to what has been posted before or that seen in Tucson this year.

I was shown a cellphone picture of a lapidary worked dog bone shape bead they are making. It reminded me of some reworked cane shown here recently. She also showed me a cellphone picture of a red elbow very much like some Luigi made a few years back. I still have some of them.

I did take shots of some small 12x16 oval beads and some 12mm round beads that look very similar to Venetian work of the past 50 years. Very clean beads except that the 12mm round had too small holes.

I'll post more in the future. I'll try to include a coin or ruler in the next ones.
