Thread: Scarabs! Help...

Hey guys!

Im looking for those nice turquoise scarab stones, however, everytime I search it gives me an actual scarab :(

anyone got some idea under what name should i look for (trying to find on ebay and on line stores...)

thanks!!!

Did you try eBay? "scarab bead" maybe?

Fire Mountain Gems sells them.

ive had luck on ebay looking for 'scarab', 'scarab bead' or 'egyptian scarab' or something like that

If you can't find the size or color you want, you can always make your own with a mold and some polymer clay, (e.g., here View the Scarab Bottom flexiMold at http://www.artclayworld.com). To age them, you can rough them up a bit and apply a dirty glaze after they're baked.

Try adding the word "faience" to your search.

Aw, man, where were those six years ago when I had to try to sculpt scarabs by hand! These would have been SO much better. Mine kind of looked like they had been stepped on a bit.

thanks for the tips!
no luck on ebay tho...

I made many, many scarabs by hand too, but I used regular clay and glaze. I like mine better than the molded ones, even though they don't all match.

I've purchased them from vendors on Ebay.

I am searching for 3-4" scarabs with a center hole. Suggestions?

I went to eBay and typed: scarab turquoise (no quotation marks) and several results popped up, including:
