Hello everyone,
What a great site!
I've been interested in beads for many years - mainly focused on glass beads of all kinds - but a recent trip to a Goodwill store turned this up.
I'm convinced that it is an ancient bead, though I've read somewhere that Pema raka beads are not.
It is so beautiful I can't quite believe it.
Help?
Many thanks
