Beer Quartz


I have to admit to hoarding these beer quartz gems for quite some time! They are faceted and lovely. I really miss The Earth Bazaar. They were an online site that had gorgeous gemstones at great prices and you didn't have to buy large quantities. I think they have been gone for a couple of years (at least). What are some of your favorite online sites for gemstones? I like buying them at bead shows (if I can) because then you can really see what you are getting. I have certainly been disappointed many a time at ordering online. Please feel free to share your favorite site in the comments section.


                       These earrings are available for purchase here on my website.

Thanks for stopping by and have a fabulous weekend!

  3. Oh I love beer quartz! And honey quartz and any kind of brown-amber quartz. Love it with turquoise, as you've done here. I've had pretty good luck buying gemstones from Etsy shops, and at a local store. Unfortunately our area is pretty slim on both bead shows AND bead shops, we now really only have one good bead store. (Joann and Michael's don't count IMO.) I have gotten some lovely beads at great prices from AAAGems, Gemalicious Beads, Norah62 (she's a real fav) on Etsy, and www.beadsandhoney.com (another real fav).

  5. The beer-quartz with the turquoise is perfect and lovely! Fellow bead hoarder here. :-D
    I too love to get my beads at shows but usually miss them - or forget to check when they are coming to the area. We have a great bead store about 2 hrs away in Seattle called Alexanders Bead Bazzar I like to visit when I am up that way. Other than that- I get a great selection and quality of Czech glass from Art Bella Surplus on Etsy and she is super nice too. :-)
