Our secret Santa emailed prior to Christmas saying they were going to be sending our package somewhat late, well when I saw it was Terry (CICADA) I got pretty excited and got right back to her and said it was no problem when we got our secret Santa gift.

As we had snow that made us not wanting to go to the post office we just got our package on Monday, and did not get to open it until Tuesday. All I can say is triple WOW.

In the first image is an absolutely wonderful Tiarona (Columbia)carnelian agate carved Grub bead, I must say that this is now one of my all time favorite beads, now I have to figure out how to string it so I can wear it. As you can see this bead is quite small being such it is quite hard to get clear images, in your hand I will say it again its wonderful. Size 18mm long 12mm tall.

All my best .............. Danny

Terry knew that I had a fondness for pre Columbian green stone beads so she was very generous and sent two. She said that one was possibly Olmec which I would not argue because of the quality. The other light green bead she describes as Mexico jade, this bead has calcite buildup on it leading me to believe it was in or just under the ground for many, many years.

Olmec bead? 25mm X 16.7mm Light green Mexico jade bead 41.2mm X 14.5mm

Suzi and I are thrilled with our secret Santa gift and thank Terry for this wonderful gift.

All my best .............. Danny
