I was once told that this type of bead does come from Nepal area.
He said these were made from old bowling balls.
I have seen them in red, blue, green and gold.
The ball is cut up and the weighted core is tossed away and capped beads are made from the glittery stuff.
Truth or fiction..........You decide
