Ancient Bactrian Agate Strand, C Navajo Antique Berber crossBeautiful and rare very old agate beads from the ancient central Asian country of Bactria. (Now Northern Afghanistan) Strung and traded in Afghanistan. These are quite old, best guess 1000 1200 years old, highly collectible with striation and subtle colors. 1 Mother of Pearl bead. 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
