Message Jamey and Ernest: I am sorry but I believe you both are wrong in this case, this bead is neither made of serpentine or bownite, because its S.G. and hardness is simply too high for either. The friend who gifted this piece to me just wrote me and said unfortunately the piece he gave me had this type of spider web but the rest of his beads (probably from a necklace) did not have this spider web. This bead was made with ancient tooling. I wish my friend can post pictures of other beads he bought from the same vendor here for comparison. He is very well traveled, in both China and Hong Kong, and this is the first time he found such beads. If both of you believe it is modern, it should not be too difficult for you to post pictures of similar pieces here for comparison, would it? I sincerely do not believe they are modern. If you can sell similar beads to me as modern pieces, I would be very happy to buy them from both of you in modern bead prices. Thank you. Bill Post a Response |
