Items cut from gemstones, such as angels, hearts, double terminated wands and other items can also be found. &nbsp;Visit them at www.rockstarcrystalsmanhattan.com or call them at 212 675 3065. &nbsp;They are still in the stone age and do not sell on-line or do mail order.</p> <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://www.beadingdaily.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=173903" width="1" height="1">http://www.beadingdaily.com/blogs/daily/archive/2007/08/26/dazzle-them-with-crystals_2100_.aspx#2331Sun, 09 Dec 2007 00:22:16 GMTe599e337-6bb7-4670-8e80-180f614937ac:2331Merle@3when I click on download it dosen't print .
