Hello: My source for smooth light blue turquoise organic oval shaped
beads ( in large sizes) has seemed to dry up in New YOrk- I go to a
place called Taj where I pay insane prices anyway and always end up
trying to drive the prices down. Does anyone have any suggestions??
Thanks in advance!

Dear Dede, try RH & Company from Los Angeles.
Sam Patania, Tucson
you might try ordering a catalog from Thunderbird Supply and Indian
Jewelers Supply in Gallup NM
Hi DeDe, Try:
Anderson's Trading Co.
P.O. Box 165
Vanderwagon, NM 87326
505-726-8452
I usually see them at G&LW gem shows. They are manufacturers who
also sell to a number of big vendors whose names you would recognize.
High quality domestic stuff… not the crudely finished offshore
goods. Check 'em out… standard disclaimer, by the way! 
All the best,
Dave

Hi, DeDe-
You can try C & D Silver in Phoenix, AZ. The phone# is
602-867-4174. This is a family run business, good people, and they
carry an assortment of turquoise beads at reasonable prices.
