I picked up several strands @ a show recently, they are very nice, about 8mm in size, carved from yak bone (I believe that's what he said), w/ inlaid silver, turquoise & coral.

Some strands are lighter in color, the beads have been bleached, while the unbleached strands are more of a coffee w/ cream color.

Said to have been made in Nepal, but is there a website that maybe specializes in Tibetan prayer beads?

Thanks,

Susan
