The "Man-in-the-Moon" beads are as rare as "Hen's teeth", typically found on French contact sites and Middle Historic Period sites (1650-1760) in North America.....examples have been found in Mali, Mauritania and Turkey, there are probably less than 200 of these bead types documented. Colors include, blue, black, amber, red and colorless with a possibility of others that I am unaware of....I am always in search of examples of these beads (hint, hint)....quite possibly a product of the glass works in the Fichtelgebirge region of Bavaria (THE FICHTELGEBIRGE BEAD AND BUTTON INDUSTRY OF BAVARIA
Karlis Karklins, Sibylle Jargstorf, Gerhard Zeh, and Laure Dussubieux)

The word "rare" is generally over-used..in this case, Man-in-the-Moon beads ARE very RARE! Congratulations, Thomas, these are beauties (having seen some of them in person myself)!

I received a new tool in the mail today, it's a very handy clip on macro and wide angle lens with ring light for my iPhone, here are the first test shots.....I had to reduce the images by a whopping 60% in size to accommodate the image upload size requirements.....the first images are of a Man-in-the-Moon bead to keep with the thread....I will ask the manufacturer to post a discount on the Trades pages
