these are sold en masse in Tucson for several years now but typically not by the African traders or Ancient Beads dealers, you can find these with the Fake Chinese Antique dealers, they come in all types, many mimicking the Phoenician styles but falling short of reality.......they are obviously artificially aged and have nothing to do with ancient beads whatsoever! Value? Pennies each! Some as high as a dollar or two, depending on the seller
