THanks so much, Thomas! Sad, to say this bead has become very rare and cost prohibitive. I am very fortunate in that I have some trader friends that promise to sell me any morfia that they find at an agreed price! These men are good friends of mine and they are doing this for me out of friendship!Fortunately, friendship is still highly regarded in Africa! My friend that found these four beads knew the man that has had them for years. He just agreed to sell them just before I left Africa! Yes, they were expensive! But, I know that I would have paid twice the price if, anyone else had had them. The proof is that I saw two other men with Morfia. The price they asked scared even me. My husband told me "DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT BUYING THEM!!!!!
