Ancient Bactrian Agate Strand, B rondelle Antique gold wash coin silverBeautiful and rare very old agate beads from the ancient central Asian country of Bactria. Strung and traded from Afghanistan. These are quite old, best guess 1000 1200 years old, highly collectible with striation and subtle colors. 3 plastic beads. All the rest are ancient stone. Some are damaged, and appear to have been carved, like a seal, but indecipherable. Overall a glorious strand! 12mm 17mm diameter graduated sizes, center bead measures 25mm
