Auction site info I posted also has description of the necklace: "Chinese ChenXiang Prayer's Beads Necklace comprised of well strung carved round shape ChenXiang wood accented by three larger Tourmaline beads. Circled toward the center Jade Fotou followed with a double-gourd turquoise bead connecting to a golden-yellow ribbon suspending flower shaped cloisonne cartouche emblem-ed with oval shaped green jade, followed by brown and green tassels."
Forgive me if I'm overlooking or mistaken but aren't the "three larger tourmaline beads" actually Coral? I've never seen tourmaline like that, LOL!
