10 x 16mm. We believe these were made in Germany, but are not positive as they were not labeled when uncovered. The interesting thing about these is that an opaque green is marbled within the base color. When you turn over the cab, you can really see the marbling. Nice design effect! You won’t be disappointed in these unusual and rare goodies.

Notice that each piece is hand made and varies in color and shape. Most have a circular swirl. Some have a bit of white glass within. These are a rare find.

40mm round. Each one is unique. These are embedded Mabe pearls that have formed within the shell and then the shell is cut. They are wonderful. I have hand picked each one. No two are exactly alike. All are wonderful. Great to use as a focal piece for wire wrapping, setting into silver, or encorporating into seed bead work. We have not drilled any holes into these.
