Original Message:   Re: Depending on the size......

I'm certainly not an expert, but I have become suspicious of these Mali quartz "dig" beads. There seems to have been an explosion of them in the last several years, and I have no idea how we would authenticate them -- outside of a controlled environment. Is is possible that labor in Mali is cheap enough to make new "ancient" beads in the traditional fashion? Copyright 2024 All rights reserved by Bead Collector Network and its users
