I finally have time to show more of my beads at my favorite site, B.C.N. This is a very long strand of engraved, triangular Mauritanian "Amber"! This "amber" is becoming very rare! I've bought, begged, traded for every piece that I've seen. I found a piece that has Coral and Turquoise many years ago. I found a second piece with Coral nd Turquoise this year. I own intrically carved pieces. Some look like snow flakes! I'm amazed and intrigued by this meticulous work. It reminds me over and over again why I love old beads!

This is a strand that was carefully matched by two of the same beads. Many of these beads I have not seen anywhere else1 Please note the yellow ghost beads. The black ghosts are rarely seen shaped like this. The beads are in excellent shape. The variety of beads are so interesting, I never get tired of looking at these beads!

Some of these are truly HOT, can you do more close-ups for a fellow addict and admirer?

Yep, very fine indeed.

Hi Christine,

These are fabulous and rare. I had a strand of the matte fancies like you show but in mainly blues and greens and was LUCKY to find them. Your colors and patterns are just beautiful. The black and white floral "ghosts" are just awesome. Thanks for the show.

Carl

Wonderful strand of beautiful beads.

THESE ARE ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!!!! Thanks very much for sharing these photos with us. Next time you're in NYC, you should stop by. We can have "show & tell."
I second Thomas's opinions of Bully. He's a very sweet and gentle man and he has a vast knowledge of beads (among other subjects). I had been hearing about him for well over a decade before I met him in Tucson last year.
