does anyone know where I can get some navajo cedar ghost beads so that I can do some beading?

Question

I can find a necklace, already made, every so often, but can never seem to find the beads, so that I can buy them and do the beading on my own... thanks

Answer 1

I do not know if they have one, but here is a great place to try

I think the 1st one is the most likely to have what you want. The webs site is really hard to navigate, so it is best to order a catalogue, but you can try. Do not give up if you cannot find it. The search terms are not very friendly. On the second one I do not know if you can shop without a catalogue yet.

This one the website is good

There is also http://www.firemountaingems.com

And never forget ebay for those really hard to find items. I found something I had been looking for all over the web for on ebay. I sometimes have to buy from overseas, but you should not for something Native American. That would be rediculous.

Answer 2

Navajo Ghost Beads

Answer 3

I have a couple of suggestions...you can look for a local powwow and if nothing else you cal talk to those there to find out where to get the beads.
Or you can search native american beaded jewelery and contact some jewelers for some leads.

Good luck!

Few Christians that aren't Catholic feel comfortable with Marion devotion, the rosary is a sacramental and many devout Catholics are offended by people wearing them (especially when inappropriately "framed" by an immodest display of the cleavage) I myself am not offended but usually seize the opportunity to start up a conversation... "Oh, you're a Catholic I see?" be prepared to know what it actually is and how it is used, of course always at the ready to clear up any misconception that the device is used to offer adoration (Latria) to Mary, who is an icon of the faith... not an idol. Idolatry is forbidden for Catholics in their catechism and anyone praying a Rosary should have it clear in their mind that Mary is not God.
