Help! I have been looking all over for "real" magatama beads and can only find them on Japanese/Chinese/Korean websites. The beads I am looking for are large comma shaped beads (not the tiny drop seed bead). They same shape as one half of the Ying Yin symbol. Sometimes the magatama is mistaken for a talon, claw, fang, or bean shape. Below are some examples. The original magatama beads were made of green jade, but I'm looking for white one for a Halloween costume. If you guys know where I can them, that would be great! Thanks.
