Product information "large antique stone bead from the Sahara - milky quartz, banded agate in double cone shape"
A beautiful antique bicone-shaped stone bead. Milky white banded agate, quartz from West Africa with a gray-beige hue.
Length approx. 34.48mm Diameter in the center approx. 21.8mm, at the edge approx. 9mm
Weight: approx. 19.68g
The bead is drilled from both sides, so the holes at the end are slightly larger than in the center, where the holes meet, leaving only a small opening of 1-1.5mm. Wonderfully evenly crafted with authentic signs of age and wear, and some patina.
It is equally interesting for collectors and for creating unique pieces of jewelry. These beads were found in Mali, West Africa, near the Niger River.
