OFF THE RICHTER SCALE OF RARENESS, PEEPS! These beads are so old and primitive.Some of you out there in land know what a FREAK I am about fluted beads.... I have collected them for years, finding about 1 strand every year or so---they are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO hard to find unless you will settle for some newly made ones and that just ain\'t me---I don\'t like \"new\" and I don\'t \"settle.\"

Old Old Old Old Old Old Old

Did I say this beauty was OLD?

LOOK AT THE FLIPPIN old school silver handmade work on these beads!!!!!!!!!!! This is what REALLLLLY blows my dress up!

So.

What\'s the big deal, you ask? Why do I harp on the fact that these beads were all made by hand?

Well, because many of you out there don\'t even know what that means so today I am going to teach you just what it takes to make a bead.....

First, the Silver Smith would have to find an ingot of sterling or pure silver to pound out thin. Just pounding out that ingot could take more than an hour or so to get the thickness even without making any holes in the resulting ingot sheet. Then the Smith has to \"cut out\" each and every \"bead\"--each bead starts out as two flat round disks of silver, like silver-dollar pancakes. Then you have to take each of those disks and drill the holes in them where the string will go and then carefully file down any resulting \"burrs\" and then individually \"dome\" them out to create the circular shape that will be joined together with another domed circular disk to create a bead. You can see here where if you did not cut the disks almost exactly the same size you have the real potential for creating wonky beads... Doming is hard, peeps and easy to screw up so right here you can get a sense of the skill and PATIENCE needed to make even ONE bead!!!! But wait, we are not done yet. Each \"half-bead\" then has to be filed to make sure it will fit evenly over the other \"half-bead.\" Then somehow you have to solder the joint between the two bead halves without burning yourself or squashing the bead by getting it too hot!!!!!!!!!! After all of this work, you now have ONE SMOOTH BEAD...

However, variations are needed on this process if the maker plans for the bead to be fluted or stamped out! Because all of that stamping or fluting has to happen BEFORE the bead is domed out!!!!!!! Who among you has this kind of talent or PATIENCE---to take an ingot, a hammer, some fire and make even ONE bead!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?? This is why I am so in AWE of Native American artisans as much of this silver work was done even before we had electricity!! THINK OF THAT, PEEPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So.

Now you know why fluted and stamped beads are so highly regarded and cherished and sought after in the Native American world! Now you know why this MAGNIFICENT BEING is such a wonder and a MIRACLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Go take a gander at the 100\'s of close-up photos I took for you and put inside the slideshow above. I gave you some severe close ups so you can see all the gnarly \"lips\" on the beads---the \"lips\" are the lines that protrude from the middle of the beads as a result of being hand-soldered. You can still see the file marks on the lips as well----these are truly AMAZING in person. You can see from the close up photos that some of the \"flutes\" do not exactly match up on both sides of the beads---this is a HUMONGOUS YUMMINESS FACTOR, because again, just like an ugly cookie, YOU KNOW IT IS HOMEMADE! THIS IS SO FLIPPIN\' AWESOME! The beads are old old with a black as night PATINA that is just gorgeous and strung up on old silver foxtail that also looks handmade! You do not see these old ones any more--Collectors get them and never ever let them back out into the Wild. Here is your chance to own an authentic piece of handmade art! An incredible find.

Turquoise is a Master Healing Stone. Turquoise is wonderful for drawing out negative vibrations from a person. It allows the negativity to go back into the ground. But italso improves the mental state overall by increasing all of the following positive mental characteristics: serenity, creativity, empathy, positive thinking, sensitivity, intuition, happiness wisdom---all of which result in a calmer state that leads to greater self-realization and greater self-confidence. TRUST ME--these stones HOLD a loving, calm vibration for you to come into resonance with and I am living proof this vibration WORKS.

I have never been calmer or more serene, hopeful, loving and happy in all my life!

:)
