TUCSON - for the Beaders !

The following pictures will say it all for the quantity of beads and pendants available, but one does need to know what they are buying especially in the way of quality. Chinese Turquoise was plentiful, in every color of the rainbow, and when asked if it was dyed Howlite, all the vendors would say is that it is 'enhanced". Somewhere, hundreds of people or some fancy machines must be working away turning out the thousands of beads and pendants that are available.

And for those that want a nostalgic touch, Bakalite could be found all over the place.
