One of the prettiest beads to come out of Japan in 1952, this 14x18mm oval will give you excess mileage being as it is 3/4 of an inch in length. Embedded dark blue spots in a sea of turquoise and all for the lowly price of $15 per lot of 12 pieces. Volume discounts see below:

Smaller version of the 'Big Rocks' seen elsewhere and later, I hope you were paying attention. These are far smaller, measure 13x18mm. For those who are afraid of big rocks these are smaller rocks. The color and all is the same, everything is the same except the price and the size. Same origins also. These are black. And so ends the similarity. These are sold in lots of 12 for $10.50 and if you buy two lots you pay twice as much. Gotcha! Order Item# BDVN2554.

Decidedly at the other end of the range are these red Little Rocks, these lean towards reddish orange in actuality and are translucent unlike the black ones which are not. Otherwise same considerations. These are sold in lots of 12 for $10.50 and if you buy two lots you pay twice as much also. Order Item# BDVN2552.

Perfect copies of the egg of the rare Foo bird (pronounced FOO, as in "food"), found only in the upper lowlands of central Northwestern Europe on the Southern side near the Eastern High Valley. The Foo bird was known for it's ability to bestow luck upon recipients of its "gifts". Furthermore, the bird had the distinct habit of stepping in the gifts of other Foo birds, presumably to prevent the unworthy from collecting them. These beads were made to fool the Foo bird by placing them in the nest whilst the dastardly poacher would steal the real eggs, to hatch them and bestow upon himself fortunes and riches. Ocassionally, however, the Foo bird would return to the nest whilst this act was being carried out, and the thief would often run for his life! In the confusion, many times it is said, the thieves mistakenly took back their own beads rather than the eggs. Being perfect copies, they could never be sure which they had. To this day, no one is really sure if these rare and beautiful beads are indeed beads, perhaps they are eggs as the hatching time (known in the trade as the gestation period) is approximately 6 decades, give or take a few fortnight. Lovely to look at, and lucky to hold, but if they hatch you'll never get old! Naturally, we do not have all that many as the poor Foo bird, a victim of this nasty scheme, has become extinct. Or has it? Only one way to find out.....Measures 10mm, which is 40% of an inch. Genuine gold foil in there, smidgen of green, red and black in a crystal clear bead would fool any Foo bird except the ones that are Harvard graduates. Sold in lots of 12 for $15. Order #BDVN5304. Uh Oh.....Sold out!
