Any ideas about this bead? It is about 31 mm long, and has an irregular pattern of white crumbs, plus two irregular bands of aventurine. The surface shows a reasonable amount of fine pitting and one large damage "pit" - both features indicating that the bead has been around for a "while".

To my eye, it looks too messy a composition to be a Venetian bead. What do you think?

    - I will be interested to see a similar Chinese bead. (no text) --- Beadman ( 2024-01-26 21:17 )
