Original Message: BEADWORMS AND OTHER CARNIVOROUS CREATURES |
---|
Hello Tule,
The beadworm thing came about at a mountain man rendezvous when some wag observed the extra holes in a chevron running parallel to the axis of the bead. Beadworms! he declared. It caught on and now not a few of the mountain men bead collectors refer to those holes as beadworm holes. These holes do show up in chevrons of antiquity found in Africa so maybe they are there too. I've found them in some of my beads. I'd keep my collection under lock and key in a humidity controlled environment away from cats and lizards just in case.
