    Hi - I used to buy some rather nice emerald beads from Fire
    Mountain, about $40 - 45/16" strand.  They have apparently changed
    sources, and the beads they have now are not well drilled, they
    shrink in the middle. I need beads in close to that price range that
    I can get a small headpin through.  Anyone have any suggestions?  I
    have a special order that I can't complete because I can't find the
    right emeralds! 

Thanks in advance.
