New to Me beads

I was able to acquire three Rhyolites beads from the Goldmine closeout.  This bring my collection up to five and I think I need more.  The Rhyolites that I got had some clear inclusions that were unexpected, but make the bead interesting in a good way.

Here are four of them with my newest bead that I thought I'd never own: Old Antique Flower, OAF.



And here's some latest swaps, so much awesome is going on here.  The stone beads are not TB, but Macrow beads.  I can't remember the striped stone's name!  


I got other great swaps, but I need to take pictures!  And my Halloween swap beads, Trick and Treat.

Color me green with envy. They are visually interesting beads.

I never would have thought to put rhyolites with OAF. A mirage of green!

How did you find an OAF?! Woo hoo!

Wow - those green stones are amazing!!

These look great and I do absolutely love your OAF x

Love the OAF with your Rhyolites, and the Lava, Stripy and Stone look wonderful together !

Gorgeous! I love the OAF with the swirly Rhyolites and lovely to see that trio staying together, they're perfect on a bangle
(the stripy stone is Tiger Iron = Haematite, Jasper and Tiger's Eye )

Very pretty.

Beautiful stones and that is the prettiest OAF I have ever seen, congrats!

Great finds, beautifully used.
