Original Message:   A Comparison

Here's a photo from my trip to Nigeria in 1998, showing a strand of refined Nigerian imitation coral beads, and (below) the strand of new Mediterranean coral I bought in Illorin. As you can see, the refined beads are fairly good-looking and almost convincing imitations. Moreso than are the unrefined beads (though these have a certain charm too).
