I must admit I was not only "waffled" but truely baffled, when seeing this bead for the first time. It is so well-made, and the color are so close to the "real thing", that I did not know for a while, what I was dealing with!

Actually, I still don't know for sure! Neither how it was made (torch, but still...), nor when exactly or where. Especially the "where" is of interest. Could it have been made anywhere but in Indonesia, is the question?
