I've seen this type of bead called.....King Solomon's agate. I've heard the stories of the lost mines of Solomon.
I have also seen them clumped in with Suleimani beads as well.
Does any one know the real story on this type of bead.
Largest beads in photos are about 2.5" long and they go all the way down to 2-3mm's or so.
I've not really seen, for myself, any real documentation on this type of bead or the stone they are constructed from.
I know someone here " At The Forum " will be able to enlighten me, and possibly others as well.
As usual.....THANKS....

i'm sure you could do a beautiful regrinding job on some of those bashed old banded agate beads which aren't worth very much in that condition- they may be already very ancient or getting that way- then you can rebrand them as fabulous danny beads?

I think your comment is very rude. Your response isn't even what I had asked for.
What it really sounds like is you have some sort of a chip on your shoulder.
I think I'll just wait for a more informed reply.
If you don't like me......stay the heck away from my posts.
Thanks for nothing

Perhaps Stefany thought you were Danny Lopaki. He has reground old beads with beautiful results. His lapidary skills are superb.

The majority of these beads are Swat/Indus valley in origin. There are some that are Suleimani but it is mostly a mix of many types. Many are Bactrian others are not.
Hopefully others will chime in here are two images of Bactrian beads in far better shape.

All my best the other ........... Danny

I would have to say no on your question. I know that at the time period these beads are from 2200 BCE-1700 BCE many beads were being produced locally. I assume the culture traded with other cultures so no telling for sure where they were made.
