D Luczak says:Thank you ladies again for all the wonderful feedback! Nancy, I was lucky enough to stumble upon these beads at my local craft store on the clearance rack! They normally sell for $10 a strand for 6 stones but I scored them for $4! I purchased them all
I have also overlooked bamboo Jasper but after this find I looked them up and they come in many beautiful colors. Believe me I’m keeping my eye out for more of them!

Nancy Mc says:Holy moly…$4? That’s a great score! They almost look like Quartz,with butterscotch in them. (Haven’t had dinner yet,can you tell)?

D Luczak says:Now that you said that , yes they totally look like butterscotch! Wow I love butterscotch….maybe that was why I was drawn to them in the store….lol don’t forget to eat I know this site is addicting
