Hi Birdi, these have been floating around the market for at least 10 years as with the agate and carnelian and rock crystal beads from the same era.

If you look at the perforations they should not be drilled but pecked meaning they were chipped away on both sides until the hole appeared. Is this how they look?

I think they are ancient --- judy ( 2012-07-26 19:27 ) file img
