The seller is mutasem2006. He has listed similar beads over the past few years that I loved, and found yours to be of the same type. I could be wrong of course. I believe I've attached a photo of some he's selling now...for $5,000. He has some individual similar beads, although none are as faceted, and i believe his are much older. I didn't check size or anything & replied rather quickly to your post, so my apologies if I'm completely off on this one! Good luck, Lynne
