(2) BIG SAHARA NEOLITHIC QUARTZ BEADS. These prehistoric beads right at 1.5" in diameter (27mm) and a little over .5" thick. They are made of quartz and are in very good condition with lots of desert soil. If you look carefully at the holes you will see that they are conical in shape, an indication of their form of manufacture and ancient age. NOTE: these are not "type" photos, these are the actual beads you will receive. Imagine the time it took to make these beauties by hand several thousand years ago. They were found in the Northern Sahara Desert of Africa and are from the Neolithic Era (New Stone Age) which dates back 3,500 - 6,000 years ago or more. These are fine prehistoric collectible artifacts. (I offer 1-day shipping as a matter of course, and often ship the day payment is received. I figure once you've paid for something, you own it, should have it as soon as possible.) As with all of my artifacts, these are guaranteed authentic for life!
STANDARD GUARANTEE: If you are not satisfied with this item for any reason, return it undamaged within 60 days for full refund in the U.S.
The field of Sahara Neolithic Artifacts was expanded by the advent of GPS technology available to meteorite hunters in the Sahara Desert. Thousands of years ago North Africa was a temperate environment similar to our own Great Plains. Countless generations of Stone-Age Man lived, hunted, fought and died there, leaving behind their weapons and tools. Today, North Africa consists largely of the Sahara Desert, an inhospitable area almost the size of the United States. Constantly shifting sands and the ability to now safely travel off of established trade routes have expanded this fascinating field of study by making these artifacts available to scholars and collectors around the world.
