I always learn from you. I appreciate your humility when you say: "...beads that don’t meet one’s standard criteria may be discarded by mistake, and maybe that is what I’m doing now."

Personally, I am hearing you say: "I don't know enough to advise you fully because there are so many extraordinary things to learn about." But, skillfully, you have a good eye and you are able to match instinct with knowledge and experience.

Thank you for your participation on BCN.

Happy Holidays,
Just Fred
