Help! I have been looking all over for "real" magatama beads and can only find
them on Japanese/Chinese/Korean websites. The beads I am looking for are large
comma shaped beads (not the tiny drop seed bead). They same shape as one half
of the Ying Yin symbol. Sometimes the magatama is mistaken for a talon, claw,
fang, or bean shape. Below are some examples. The original magatama beads were
made of green jade, but I'm looking for white one for a Halloween costume. If
you guys know where I can them, that would be great! Thanks.
