Ancient Beige Agate "Biscuits"
STAFR1019
BACK IN STOCK!! African traders call this bead a "biscuit", and it is very organic in shape. It appears to be a stone simply drilled. These are ancient, found in Mali, and drilled conically so the hole is very small in the center. They vary widely in size, from approximately 10mm up to 35 mm, and are not uniformly shaped. Photo shows a pile of these wonderful beads in an attempt to show their variety; beads sold individually, not in a group. PLEASE INDICATE A SIZE THAT YOU ARE INTERESTED IN OR WE WILL PICK THE BEADS AT RANDOM.
