if you can buy the badge from i.o., it will be less money than you will spend buying it from a seller on ebay.
good luck-your badge sounds lovely!

I'm a bit slow too - I only recently decided against getting my birthstone (emerald) and opting for turquoise instead. DUH! If you happen to find a source with more than one, let me know! ZLAM!
