Turquoise Beads

A macro shot of just one heap of beads seen on vendor tables at the Tucson Rock and Gem Show in February. Each table is about 4 x 8 feet and covered in great heaps of such beads. Each hank of beads maybe contains several thousand beads, this vendor selling beads made from polished stones. These turquoise stones were a special beauty to see. The vendor here is primarily selling wholesale.
