Original Message:   long white agte/jade bead Katmandu 1985 5 3/4 inches long

This bead was hiding in a showcase in Katmandu antique shop at the back. I only saw about 1/3 of the bead. It also has the same tinytiny hole. Second picture shows the hole It has a wonderful ring when touched by the other beads. Can the group please tell me when diamond drill technology was started in the ancient times in India?? I would like to read about development of diamond drilling in ancient times. Thanks in advance from Walter Anderson Copyright 2024 All rights reserved by Bead Collector Network and its users
