The Earth Bazaar is having an end of the year sale and I picked up a few things....some tourmalines, swiss blue topaz, aquamarine, rose quartz, and peridot.
I love their online store. Their regular prices are outrageous, but if you order from their weekly specials, you can get some pretty good deals . And the quality is outstanding. I only order their grade A stones. They're the clearest and the cuts are so crisp. Not cheap, but oh so pretty.
Christmas isn't over, but from my selection, I think I've already begun longing for spring. (I didn't even realize it when I ordered these stones last week.)
What can I say. I can't resist a few more baubles. I've already got a few new designs in mind.

When I was at the bead show two weeks ago, I was attracted to blues and greens...I guess we just don't know, and react to what makes us happy at the time.
I LOVE your stream of consciousness comment. It made me laugh. I know EXACTLY what you mean.
(Must go now to fondle beads.)
I have the same concern. That's why I've never ordered single beads. I generally either get entire strands or I buy sets of multiples. For example, I bought 2 sets of 4 peridot briolettes. All of them matched perfectly.
If you want to buy singles, you could always give them a phone call and see what they say.
