manmade. Leaded glass for extra sparkle, faceted. They come either in
flatback, pointed back glue-on types or in other shapes and colors, most lovely and sparkly! "Harry" wrote in message ...

Swarovski is a manufacturer of optical glass and lead crystal in Austria.
They make lenses for hunting scopes and for observatories. It is the optical quality of their glass that made their cut crystal beads so brilliant. They also have some wonderful colours. Eg, their pale colours still have very true colours. More expensive, but worth it. Tina "Harry" wrote in message ...

the one here doesn't have a craft section, but it does have a cooking
section, with a TON of pots and pans and etc. Plus a nice selection of Yankee Candles, etc. Mary -- Joy multiplies when it is shared among friends, but grief diminishes with every division.

We have an Ace about every half mile here in Los Angeles (well, my part,
anyway), and none of them have craft or cooking sections. Weird! -- Kyla "Just remember...if the world didn't suck, we'd all fall off." "biig" wrote in message ...
