    As a professional I never buy beads at a show; however if a seller
    anywhere wouldn't guarantee what they're selling then they WOULD,
    obviously, have offer a test situation or automatic refund in
    future. A tiny scratch with a steel needle would NOT be readily
    visible or an affront to the seller...
