centerpiece "gems"--where to buy?

Hello:)

I'm shopping around for bulk red gems to put in the bottom of our centerpiece vases.  Does anyone have recommendations on where to buy these?  I found one internet site, but suggestions are welcome--especially local suggestions so there's no shipping of rocks involved.  I'm not picky--just looking for a deal!   I need enough for 30 tables, so definitely bulk.

Or, if anyone used these and is looking to sell--I'm looking to buy!

Thanks!

    Michael's, JoAnn's, Target is where I saw gems when I was on that search.  The dollar stores also have them, though I'm not sure you'll get a better value because the packages are smaller...

    I'm not sure where in minnesota you are, but I live in st cloud and we have a store Crafts Direct, thats where I found mine, they are $4.67 for alomst a pound of them, they are acrylic gems about 1/4 of inch. I know they sell them on-line on their website as well.
    Best of Luck!!
    P.S. I got about 4 centerpieces per bag- about 1-1/2 in in the centerpiece and some sprinkled around on the table.

    I'm looking for those as well, I'd  be willing to share in the cost of some with you/buy them from you after your wedding; though I would only need enough for 10-12 tables. My wedding is September 10. If you are interested send me an email kkwickman at hotmail dot com

    Michael's Michael's Michael's! If you buy with a coupon you cant beat the price! I would buy one at a time and use a coupon on each if you have the time.
