My grandkids bought me some square-cut beads at the markets in Freemantle, West Australia and yes they do have the fine powder stuff which you notice when beading with them.

   Most historical beads are produced by modern bead makers, but I do
   not know if
   I have ever seen modern "square cuts" with the file indentations on
   them.

   Have you?

   Are they around? If so where?

   Thanks
