i'm writing something for a deadline (which will be a bit late) but i have this bead necklace of rather amazing wafer-thin banded agate slivers and i guess they resemble ancient stone beads but where from? the originals feel like they must have been middle east-ish, as these have slightly rounded edges are they more likely to be a sophisticated indian product, or could be very recent chinese as they can do almost everything???
thanks in advance for any assistance...
