dear Mosquitobay and Will, I want to be clear on one subject - nowhere in my posts I question, if beads presented by you or Will are pyu gold beads or not. I was using them as illustration of "hard to tell category", i.e. beads with no clear patina. it doesn't mean they are not real, its just means that there is no VISIBLE ON PHOTO patina, i.e. been cleaned up with some sort of acid/cleaning solution (most likely) or been stored in cold and dry place (less likely). My general paradigm to collecting was described in my post, and i would never buy any bead (gold or other material) that in my eyes has no other qualities except provenance and age. That makes me bad collector, but good investor and aesthete. If you put yourself in this frame of mind - you will agree, that I will be the last person trying to pinpoint to someone that he has fake bead. Best Tofsla
