Here's linkage to Jamey's post from March 2011, absolutely worth reviewing as these are unleashed into a market where novices are sure to be fleeced! These lovely beads were approx. 9.00 each when I saw them in Tucson in Feb. and selling like hotcakes.

I haven't located the images Thomas showed of beads from the dealer who was both at Rodeway and Santa Fe, but next post are some that Tasmania_gal showed recently as well.
