Glass fossil beads

Several years ago J-Me took her real 30,000,000 year old ammonite fossil to Czech Republic to have a graphite mold made of it so she could have glass beads produced with that shape. A year later she did the same thing with a trilobite fossil.



We made them in black, malachite green, transparent green, amber , chocolate bronze, hematite.

They are available for purchase and will be on display at Gem Mall and 22nd St in Tucson, as well as at shows we attend throughout the year.

J-Me and Guy are the owners of Wild Things Beads, a small family run import business specializing in Czech glass beads and buttons and finding the unusual to bring to their warehouse. They also run working bead tours to Jablonec and Hong Kong. Their warehouse is located deep in the Sierra Nevada foothills of Northern California, and can be reached by phone at (530)743 1339 or on the web at www.wildthingsbeads.com. They are also open by appointment at their warehouse.
