Where to buy clear gems?

I'm hoping to get either the small, flat gems or I could do marbles. The thing is, based on the 1lb bag that they have at Dollar Tree, I need about 3 bags per vase and 8 vases, so that's 24lbs worth. The problems I'm having are that the Dollar Trees local to me don't have nearly enough(I found 5 bags total), they look more greenish than clear, I can't order online and have them shipped to the store(doesn't let me have that option for my local store and it would probably cost a small fortune to ship them), and when you order them online you get a mixed case of the round ones and the oblong curved ones. Can anyone help me find a CHEAP place to get a whole bunch? Ugh.

Ooh, I think I found a winner. Here's the link for anyone interested: http://marblesandgemsofcolor.com/index.html Still like twice as much as I'd pay through Dollar Tree if I got them in store, but they're actually CLEAR, not clear with a greenish tinge to them.

Did you try ordering through the dollar tree directly?

Nichoel - Yes, but then I'm forced to buy a box of 24, 12 of which are the kind I don't want, they aren't the exact right color, and with their handling fee and shipping, it ends up being $42.52 and I don't even want to use half of it, so I'd need to order a second case. It was only about $10 more to order from that link I posted, so I just went for it. Seemed like a better idea than getting something I wasn't going to be happy with.

I have been looking for this kind of item, too. Just not sure quite yet what I want to put in my vases.
