What do you make of this type of bead:

I've been seeing similar-looking heishi-esque amazonite beads like these pop up from various sellers lately. Are they coming from some recently looted site in Mali or Mauritania, or is some enterprising soul manufacturing them?

        Yes—1,000 years IS old. But many of these beads are much more recent. (no text) --- Beadman ( 2018-08-02 13:33 )
