<p>[QUOTE="elarnia, post: 9505, member: 159"]A lot of the items from India do have real stones in them. For ten agate cabs (and 18 iffy amethysts) $3.00 isn't bad. When I can get that price I buy some to take the stones out of & make something else. Some of the dealers are learning that they can sell things like this for what they are to crafters for the same price they have to con someone else for. Even drill a few holes through them and double the price! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie56" alt=":jawdrop:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
