Description: In my opinion, this is one of the best images of beads that I have ever taken. You will want to full view this image because it is just so cool to look at. What you see here is a large agate (chalcedony) bead sitting amongst various strands of coral beads. To me it looks like a large river rock in the center of a flowing coral river. The colors were as vibrant and bright in real life as you see them here.

This agate was not placed by myself, it was one of several large "floater" agate pieces which seemed to be randomly dispersed throughout the dealer's table - nestled into various strands of beads. When I came upon this table at the show, there were large bright halogen lights set up which did a superb job of illuminated the beads below them. It was almost like photographing in daylight conditions. I wish that every table had had that sort of illumination because it made for great photographing conditions.
