Helen G aka tea chick says:My daughter Emma saw this one over my shoulder and said, “ooh, that one is really really really pretty!”
This pick perfectly shows how Lima has changed my view of gemstones. I used to not use them much because I thought that the colors were too limited and muddy, but that was just what most bead shops carried. There’s such an amazing range here at Lima, it’s opened a door to a new world of art and nature for me!

Lynn Eileen Chicky LE says:Helen — LB really does have the best in quality and colors!
I didn’t like to buy gemstones on line before because the photo would look great but the product in hand would be blah. Not here!
Judi — What a beautiful rainbow effect you’ve created with these gems! Love your arrangement!

Judiahaha says:Thanks Helen and Lynn and Helen’s daughter
,
I admit sometimes I just play with the colors and textures to see what comes of it, but then LB’s format has allowed me to become more familiar with the gemstones and their qualities and to experiment with some via their specials. Love coming here daily!

Judiahaha says:Wow! I’m overwhelmed with all the positive comments for Stone Rainbow! Thanks everyone! The bummer is that I just found out a few minutes ago before midnight (I was out of town) that Stone Rainbow was POD and by the time I signed in, I missed my own sale! Waaaaahhhh! I missed the turquoise heishi and the tanzanite. Waaaahhh! But I’m overwhelmed by the thoughtful, supportive comments
Thanks you all!
