Hi,

I received my order today and can't tell you how pleased I am! This is my first foray into Hubei turquoise, I bought the nuggets and I am totally blown away by their beauty.

The Sleeping Beauty is lovely as well..but I guess that goes without saying :-)

Your prices are fair and the shipping was timely. I want to thank you for the gift as well! I will certainly recommend you to all my friends.

Thanks again, I'm positive you will be seeing more of me in the near future.

I have ordered from Magpie at three times and everything has been exquisite. If there have been errors, they have been on my side, not really paying attention to the size, but it allows me to become more creative. Shipping is secure and usually arrives in 2-3 days regular mail from TX to WI. Can hardly wait until I find more yummies that I cannot afford, but are MUST HAVES!

Once again, Szarka, I'm blown away by the new gems that came in yesterday! Am like a kid at Christmas time! Especially love the chrysoprase nuggets and the rhodochrosite with pyrite - both absolutely beautiful. But everything is! Have to laugh at the candy jade - boy, do they ever look like gumballs! Not something I'd normally order, but I think simple bracelets, etc. made from them would sell here.

Now I have to find the Muse again and start making things! Actually finished a piece yesterday using some turquoise tubes bought from you. Will send a pic once the horribly cold wind dies down and I can get out on the porch to take photos.

Your quality and your service is always top-notch. You know I'll definitely be back (:(:(:

Thanks once again. Peace and joy.

OH how I love to go to your sight. I know that I can find something - I am on a fixed income and you just don't know what a blessing your are. Thank for have the wonderful items on sale and the other prices so that others like myself are able to get materials that we need to make respectable looking jewelry that we can be proud of . Again Thank you so much Teresa

I will be back :0)

Hi, Szarka.

Just a short note to say you have outdone yourself this time on the beauty and the quality of the stones I received yesterday! Couldn't wait to delve into the package (: Dare I say that I'm probably going to keep the variscite for myself? This will be the first time I will use the stone - and definitely won't be my last. The color is sublime. The sunstone is absolutely beautiful - such flash! I actually gasped when I held up the andalusite briolettes - exquisite. Will have to get a few more the next time I order. The turquoise rice beads are fun. I see some Thai silver combining with them for a sweet little necklace. And the shell daisy pendant just makes me smile and reminds me that spring is just around the corner (hopefully!).

A lot of superlatives for this order, but they don't really explain the feeling of holding these stones in hand. About as close to a spiritual experience as I get (wait! add sunsets, flowers, birds, my dogs, the marshes, trees, frogs, the mountains, traveling, just sitting and looking - guess I have more of those experiences than I thought!). Anyway, I hope you get the picture.

As always, it's a great pleasure to buy stones from you, Szarka, an on-line vendor who can be trusted to deliver what she promises. Am never disappointed!

Peace and joy . . . Catherine

Your beautiful gemstone beads just arrived and, as always, take my breath away. Such beautiful gemmie beads at prices that I can afford is truly wonderful. Thank you so very much Szarka for helping all of us to make gorgeous jewelry.

Hello, Szarka

Just want to thank you for being so prompt and reliable. You are absolutely tops; your gemstones are exceptional, and I trust you to sell the very best. Glad to have found you. Wish I could buy 'em all!

Hi, Szarka. Just wanted to let you know that I opened the package of new jewels about 3 minutes ago and couldn't wait to email you how much I love everything!

The sheen on the pearls is absolutely gorgeous. The apatite is an awesome color - have never used apatite in a design so this will be a real treat! The multi-faceted peridot rondelles are going to make some beautiful earrings, as will the obsidian drops (for me!) and the rhodochrosite. The sterling pendant is so much fun and the cones will be put to good use!

As always, you offer and deliver the best jewels and they arrive so quickly. Have always hated to order stones off the internet because quality can be a real issue. But from the first order, I have felt confident in what you sell - that's why I keep coming back! Besides, you seem like such a nice person! Wish when I was living in Texas that I could have met you face-to-face (:

Anyway, you have another ecstatic customer! Now, after my self-imposed break, I need to get busy designing!

Hope 2010 is better than your wildest dreams . . .

I love the turquoise cabs I purchased from you last week!! They arrived in the mail safe & sound – thank you for such quick shipping. After purchasing some lovely beads from you at the Austin Bead Society show a couple of years ago, I knew I could trust the quality of your products. I was looking for some turquoise cabs for a piece of jewelry for my mother. Turquoise is one of those things I know nothing about and am hesitant to buy even when I can see the product in person. But, I knew I could trust your quality and could purchase from your website without hesitation. Thank you for such wonderful cabs!!

I hope to meet you at one of the San Marcos Faux Bead Society meetings – I may try to get down there on Thursday.

Again, thank you!!

Hi Szarka:

I just wanted to thank you for the beautiful quality of the Australian Grey Opal Graduated Rondelles (4 - 9 mm) and the Aquamarine Graduated Faceted Rondelles (8 mm) that I recently purchased from your website. I go through each bead to ensure it is whole and unscratched, and I found that these opals and aquamarines to be some of the best I've ever seen. The opals have a beautiful orange glow, and, while I expect inclusions and cloudiness in aquamarines, the ones I bought from you were excellent: 50% were exceptional in brilliance, clarity, and sparkle-- a much better percentage than I've gotten elsewhere. I am really pleased, and I will continue to order from you. Clearly you love these beautiful stones as much as I do!

Best wishes,

Onni

I love the stones you carry and have recommended you to a few people around forums who were looking for stuff. Your service is super, too, so I have no hesitation abut recommending your store to people.

I just placed my 4th or 5th (maybe more) order from Szarka. I love this store and the products it carries. The shipping time is amazingly quick and I've never been disappointed in my order.

Let me tell you! From Texas...These are GOOD people! They care about their customers and how they can meet their needs. I was so blessed to have met them at the Victoria Gem and Minerals Show. They took the time to look at others art work. You all know what a compliment about our work means to wire wrappers and jewelry artist. I bought some Beautiful things there and can't wait to order some more! They have beautiful products!

Carla on October 12, 2009 at 06:36 PM said:

I placed my first order this evening, after finding the site quite by "accident." I am already impressed, without even seeing the beads! I've seen a lot of gemstone beads over the years, and I was so delighted with the fresh, high-quality, variety of gemstones available on the site. Top it off with your fabulous business philosophy and peaceful site design, and shopping was a pleasure.
