Original Message:   these photos are so clear as mine£¡

you bead seems to be a chinese melon pendent of Qing dynasty on which the carved lines used to be the cover leafs.£šif the carved lines make leafs together i can not see it clearly£© this kind of agate we call it banding nanhong (kind of nanhong agate) it does not appear before ming dynasty in mainland china so i guess it is from some place south outside china R.M.
