I thought these were interesting enough to share... 13-15mm pondslime with great coloring and nice luster. I found them at a local bead shop last week and I may go back for more. He has 3 more strands of round/semi round and 3 strands of drop.

I actually don't know if they are bead nuked or not... I be sure to ask next time I am in the shop!

I love the pondslime! Very unique and different, and very much a less-formal pearl (think: perfect with sweatpants).
