New Items
Tumbled Gemstones
I had always meant to list each of these individually, but to save time and
website space I have finally just opted to list them in groups of
similarly-priced items. You can choose your stones with the drop-down menu
when you purchase. I have semi-precious gemstones, and also "premium"
gemstones, which are of the more precious type. I also now have a 10-pc
collection if you prefer to buy in bulk at a slight discount.
Semi-Precious Gemstones
Premium Gemstones

Gemstone Marbles
Some marbles are back in stock, and some are new. Nearly all of them
have new prices, unfortunately. I once got a really great deal on Gemstone
Marbles, but my supplier has pulled out of the deal, so I have to buy them at
higher prices and pass the higher price on to you. It REALLY bums me out,
since I prided myself on having the LOWEST price for Gemstone Marbles of any
site on the net. Still, even for the current prices, these are a great
little buy! We have a whole bunch of new stones, some of which do not yet
have pictures, but you know what the stones look like, so I figured I'd unleash
them now anyway. The new stones include Clear Quartz, Amethyst, Dalmatian
Jasper, Snowflake Obsidian, Rhyolite, Moss Agate, Hematite, Scenic Jasper, and
Sodalite in two sizes. Returning stones (which were recently out of stock)
include Red (Brecciated) Jasper, Unakite, and a larger version of Rose
Quartz. See them all (with the newest items listed at the top) here:

Stone Fun Facts
None This Week
A family visit has taken up a lot
of my time this week, but I hope to do some research on a few new stones for future newsletters. I am starting to run
out of stones to highlight, actually, so it's getting harder to create these
Fact Lists! I will eventually have to start recycling the old
ones!

News and Stuff
Feedback Star is About to
Change...
My eBay feedback rating is currently at 993. All I need is feedback
from seven more NEW customers to reach 1,000 and get a red
star instead of purple. Can I manage to
pick up seven new customers who will leave feedback this week? We'll
see.
Weekly Sale
Free Pendants!
I just got in a large assortment of cool stone pendants, and am raring to
give some away as gifts! This week, for every $5.00 worth of stuff you
buy, I will include a Stone Pendant at no extra charge. That means
if your order totals $5.00 or more, you'll get one free pendant. If you
order totals $10, you'll get two. An order of $50 will get you 10 free
pendants. And so on. You are only limited by the size of your
order.
Free Pendants Offer is good through October 3, 2004.
Penny Sale
Every week, I hide one special offer somewhere on my online site.
This listing will offer a certain product for ONE CENT, with any purchase of
$10.00 or more. The item and its location will change every week, so be
sure to look often. Simply go to my online store site:
and browse until you find the hidden listing. Add it to your cart,
along with the rest of your $10+ order, and it will be included for just a
penny. Happy Hunting!
(Two weeks ago our keen-eyed customers got a FREEFORM CABOCHON for a
penny. What will you be able to get this week?)
Insider's Special
$1.00 Mystery Beads!
I had this "Closeout" section on eBay for a while, and it was
a big hit. For $1.00, you might get any type, shape, and number of
beads. Some will be ordinarily available in my store; others will be
one-of-a-kind bits and pieces we have around the place. Take a chance that
you'll find something you love! (Oh, and returning customers
will see that I finally corrected the spelling of "Mystery" in the
listing. Thanks for the heads-up. I sometimes get very lax in my
proofreading!)
$1.00 Mystery Beads Offer is good through October 3,
2004.
