Hi Jamie, It was your viewpoint I was going by. Possible, do you think, that having cornered the Tibetan market, so to speak, Chinese traders bought in carnelian from elsewhere - India in this case - to satisfy demand, and in the process some of that stock ended up in contemporary tombs? This is historical tail-chasing, of course, but compelling as well... Cheers, Pip Copyright 2024 All rights reserved by Bead Collector Network and its users
