ANCIENT BANDED AGATE BEADS

 
31 * 11 mm
A wonderfull ancient translucent natural Chung dZI bead with a unique 'patina'.
It displays dual, almost symmetrical swirling stripes. The bead is translucent which gives
a marvellous contrast to the natural white stripes. An 'artbead' of rare appearance.

Ancient banded agate beads - the play of colors in these beads is unique!
Unfortunately my scanner is not able to display the full translucent shine in this bead.
