This photo shows a close-up of a single "Type II" cylinder with four rings or bands.

Here, we see a diamond tabular bead, of the "Type II" appearance, with black lines forming a "V" in each corner, with a central circle or diamond. This pattern is also reminiscent of designs found on later pumtek beads that are tabular diamonds.

The six diamond tabular beads seen here, likewise resemble pumtek beads, with their typical cross patterns. One is a "Type II" bead

Oddly, both of these beads appear to be much like the previous, but are clearly recut. One may speculate that a broken diamond tabular has been ground down to a smaller bead. In the left specimen, we can see that the actual interior color of the stone is white (though not as white as the artificial lines of the design). In the right specimen, we can see that this cutting was performed a very long time ago, as evidenced by the decay of the material on ALL sides. For many years, I have speculated that "Type II" beads are really just "Type I" beads, in which the process failed. Due to such problems as over-hating or prolonged heating, the white lines turn black (or gray), and the body of the stone turns white (or another non-red or non-black color). The right specimen here is a failed "Type I" bead that has become nearly a "Type II

These twelve barrel beads have diamond patterns, or zigzag lines, and again show lines that may be white or yellow

The bead below has a pattern typical of many pumtek beads, consisting of an equatorial band or ring, augmented by longitudinal lines that do not reach the ends, and with end rings.
