Misery, thy name is migraine

Another migraine. Feh.

Which absolutely annoys the hell out of me as I've been planning to read "Witchcraft Lives" by Doreen Valiente now that I finally got my hands on it.

ah. well i sell amber and jet beads.. which is how i met people in the BTW community. instead of the other way around >grin<
right now i am having a sale on certain shaps of beads that i have overstock of..... i do intend to have jet beads in the future, i have carried them for years.. but i am dependant on ONE cutting factory, so i get nervous about long term supply and buy in bulk.
right now i have way tooo much in these styles:

a victorian style faceted round. about 8-10 mm usually $50, currently $25

my "grab bag" of chip and scratch i have some bicones, a few cubes, and some plaques (flat rectangles, drilled lengthwise) and some that look like "bone pipe" all on sale for $10 each. most have on ebead that is chipped or scratched badly.

i do have others not on big sales right now.. so if you want rounds, or rondells, or twists, or barrels, just let me know.
all strings are 16 inches, give or take a few mm.
i also have amber beads of course. big sale on the butter colors right now.. but i have the other types as well.

all my jet and amber is guarenteed to be: the real thing, not mixed with resin (ambroid), and fully returnable if any testing ever shows any problems. i stand behind all my products. My jet is real jet, not black stone, not dyed , not something black, not glass... JET, a fossil materiel related to coal.
all my amber at this time is Baltic, 100% pure amber, no resin mixed chips.. and has likely been heat treated to bring out color.
assume all green amber cabochons has been heat treated, and then coated on the back to increase depth of color. but no resin was ever mixed into the amber itself.

I've heard wonderful things about your beads

Sounds great - I'll be looking for round amber beads, no facets, dark gold colored amber if possible. No bone.

For jet, I can probably do a bit of facet.
