Yes they are very expensive these day's. I know they ended up in Tibet but I think they were made in India. If I'm right most agate beads were made in India.
But I don't think they were made in Tibet.

and why carnelian. Does the color have any meaning ?
anyhow.....I'll see what others might have to say about these beads.

Thanks all.........SEE YA AT THE FORUM
