Remember How much you paid for your bead?

I have paid 300 DH for mine - equivalent to roundabout 28 Dollar. For an avarage bead of this type - in the obligatory yellow color, a smaller size and without the "cracks" - I had not paid more than ca. 5 $. This bead developed a magnetic pull. It' not owners-pride when I say this is the most beautiful bead of this kind, I have ever seen.

What surprises, but also "worries" me is the fact that this piece is completely without any patina. How can this be explained, I wonder!?

The second bead is relative big too and shows a rare greenish-yellow color I hadn't seen neither, before I aquired both beads together this week in Tiznit, Morocco, at the price of 150 Dirhams, ca. 14 Dollar. This one has no patina neither.

Does anybody know the value of simelar types in big size? Just curious - do not have any business in mind!
