Beautiful.................. Tell me something about this
Thanks a lot. This bead from China and had been collected for almost 10 years already. It was 4 cm. long and 1.1 cm thick. This year early by March, I had sold to one of best friend who is from Tibet. He is a bead trader. He got a lot ancient beads like agate, amber, carnelian and as much dzi beads. He had pushed me to sell this one to him for more than 5 years already. Everytime I saw him, he will request to see this bead. Until this year March, he called me and said that he love this bead and want me to sell it to me. He promised me that this bead are for his collection and will not sell to anyone. I can see his sincerity do to this bead and I sold it to him.
These days smaller beads have become so rare that people are making the bigger beads smaller by sanding. hahahahha It is funny but it's true.......
