I LOVE crystal and semiprecious stone beads and pendants. Does anyone have any they're willing to trade? I have 2 issues of Beadwork magazine, 2 issues of Belle Armoire (art-to-wear) magazine, 1 issue of Ornament magazine, Beadwork Creates Beaded Beads book, and 500 Necklaces book by Lark Publishing. I'd be happy to trade for any or all of these. Reach me via this thread, or send me an email at my profile. If I'm doing something in violation of the terms, please do let me know. I did read the dos and don'ts, but still feel a little shaky, as I've never traded here before.

Jessica -

I've got a (literal) ton of stone beads, and I'd definitely be willing to trade with you.  Off the top of my head (I'm at work, away from my stash), I have:

AAA quality Fire Agate - various sizes and shapes

Large highly polished Fluorite nuggets

Large highly polished Lemon Quartz nuggets

Mookaite - large, small and in-between (mostly pinks and yellows)

Ryolite

Banded Agate

Brazilian "Christmas" Agate - these are HUGE beyond HUGE - 45mm diameter discs, 7mm thick

Carved Rose Quartz

Carved Jet

If you want smaller, gemmy-er beads, I've got a bunch of 4mm citrine, 4mm aquamarine and 4mm period.

Let me know if anything interests you, and I'll send you scans.

Wow! You've got a lot of good-sounding stuff! So far I'm most interested in the fire agate, fluorite, lemon quartz and carved jet. Are you interested in all the magazines?

Sorry I haven't responded sooner, it's been a busy few days.

I'll send you pictures of what I've got to offer, and then we can talk terms, but the magazines do interest me.

 Just to ease your mind, you are doing exactly what this was intended for! Now that you have found at least one interested party, you two can e-mail details privately. No rules broken here!

Best of luck!
