On offer here is a strand of ancient excavated banded white agate beads, sourced in the Sahara. These beads are estimated to be over 1000 years old.
The beads are of a rare diamond shape, in a delicate milk-white and light beige palette, with whites, beiges, grays, semi-transparent yellowish and pinkish hues intermixed. Strand G has a few oval beads intermixed with the diamond-shaped beads.
The strands are approximately 26" including raffia.
The beads are of venerable age, and some have nicks and chips consistent with age. Please see the photos for the detail. The scale of the wooden ruler in the scale photos is metric.
ATTENTION INTERNATIONAL SHOPPERS: Etsy adds shipping per item, which results in an unusually high shipping cost estimate. WE COMBINE SHIPPING and will refund any overage. Contact us when placing the order and we will work with you to ensure the best available shipping cost.
IMPORTANT NOTE. In the world of beads, and especially ancient and antique beads, errors in identification are common. We do our best to research and classify our beads accurately, however, mistakes are certainly possible. If you are a bead expert and notice any errors in the description, we invite you to please contact us and let us know. We are always grateful for any new information. We also accept returns no questions asked. See our Return Policy for detail.
COLORS: Our photos are taken in different lighting in an attempt to show how beads look in different lighting conditions. We make every effort to show colors as accurately as possible. The white background photos are taken in daylight conditions. The black background photos are taken in the strong lab light and would be representative of what they would look like in the evening electric light. Some of the photos are backlit to emphasize their translucency. Note that monitor settings strongly affect the way the colors look. What you see on your monitor may differ from what you see with a naked eye depending on your monitor settings.
WE COMBINE SHIPPING and will refund any overage. Contact us when placing the order and we will work with you to ensure the best available shipping cost.
