difficult to recognise from this foto. looks petrified wood, jasper or a kind of stone to find only in china and used for jewelry
Thanks for the view Ait, and the comment.It is a possibility of petrified wood.All I know is that it is they are stone and most really old stone beads have larger piercings.It might explain the smaller piercings/holes if wood beads and have become petrified after the holes were made.I really don't have a clue.
Small holes are a signe of recent work, petrified wood is at all new introduction in adornment
I saw semilar petrified wood in san marino
