Original Message: Pema Rakas- so HOW do you tell the difference?

I read with interest your comments about opaqueness and translucency, but still can't tell the difference. Some of mine come from the Carlssons, some from antique/flea markets and the ones I posted yesterday are from Pema. I do believe that Pema's Tibetan beads come from India, as Yankee explained. Actually, it really doesn't make much difference to me how old these beads are or whether the carnelians are artificially aged. I love these date shaped beauties. I'd just like to know how you can confidently identify them without handling them, and how I can be more aware in the future. TIA Paula Copyright 2024
