Finally found it !

My third smoky quartz, I m so happy.     Now this project is finished. ( sort of.... I can change my mind, you never know... do you ?  )  

I can 't make better pics because the camera won't open, I can't change the batteries.   What ever I try the stupid thing simply refuses to open.

Congrats! it's always nice to find a long sought bead.

Ooh, super lovely

Great success! What an elegant, earthy bracelet you've put together. The smoky quartz just gives it a hint of warmth. I've been wondering how much I want (need) one (or two...)

congrats on your smokey quartz. must say, the pops of blue add a lovely dimension to these colors, esp that bubbles bead! so unusual and scrumptious together.

The blue bubbles is the azure blue bubbles and  I have given up finding a second one just like that.

I agree with Plumbum... that also stroke me at first sight... the blue is very nice with the smoky quartz... Need to try this myself...

... and should you ever be in urgent need of an azure bubbles bead like this, we might arrange for a meeting and may be I am willing to let one of my azure bubbles move to a new home... Aachen is right on the Dutch border, so we should not life too far apart... I hope you do not find this invasive, but I found TB meetings always nice to have...

beautiful combo! love the smokey quartz!

That 's a nice offer I'll keep it in mind.  The distance is no problem as I live about 35 km from Aachen....
