Of course, I go to Tucson to see the staggering quantity and selection of trade beads, mostly concentrated with the vendors in African Village and Gem Mall.

Here are two strands that I added to my collection on this trip:

A nice strand of mixed fancies (too bad about the damaged tab, but otherwise good beads) from Bully Jawara, and a strand of a speo chevrons, longitudinally laid cane cylinders, a few Akoso powder glass beads, and other fancies, from Saibo Tunkara. Both have tables at Gem Mall.
