Semi-precious Gem Stone Strands:  The following strands are what I have found mostly at the Tucson Gem and Mineral Show.  Most are labeled correctly, but some, due to the language barrier, are unknown or only a educated guess.  And sometimes I'm told incorrectly or they have made up their own name for that particular type of jasper.  Hopefully the pictures will speak for themselves, which are shown in thumbnails, click on the picture for a larger image.  The Tucson show takes place every year the first two weeks of February.  If you have the opportunity to go, don't pass it up!  By mid February I usually up-date this page with the new beads and contact my e-mail list to let everyone know.  If you would like to be on that list, please e-mail me and I'll make sure you're included.  Along with the strands of beads, I also purchase a large number of focal pieces that I sell individually and can be found on the "Focal" page.

To order,please e-mail me the order.  If you have ordered from me before, I should still have your information on file.  If this is a first time order, please call (719)-836-2698 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM mountain time with a Visa / Master Card number, and E-Mail me the order at patpocius@gmail.com with your requests.  Sorry, no paypal.  Shipping starts at $2.50 and usually averages about 50 cents per strand after the first strand unless otherwise noted due to it's size.  If you are looking for anything in particular, e-mail me and I'll keep an eye out for that item.  My big shopping trips are Quartzite/Tucson in January and February and again in Denver in September.  Let me know your requests shortly before then and I'll see what I can do.  Thanks, Pat
