One authentic way to wear a "Morfia" on a necklace (in Mauritania).

There are other ways, including Morfias being cut up into dozends of single, little pieces, with each piece being drilled, then worn together with tiny 22 carat goldbeads as/on bracelets. Fashion for the rich Beidani, the oligarchy of the country, and one reason why this beads are so costly (with 200-500 Dollar/pc inside the country, depending on preservation, color, size and type. Specimen with "eyes" cost ca. 35% more).
