We try to keep in stock a range of old and very old turquoise beads from the Himalaya. Wonderfully worn and patinated, with hand drilled asymetric holes, turning greenish from years of contact with body oils, these magnificent stones are perfect feature pieces for contemporary creations. They are also nice to have as a group in a bowl along with amber and red coral - for fingering and handling. Weights vary wildly, but the price averages about $1.00 per gram. the larger stones can weigh from 40 - 70 grams. Inquire for current availability and prices.
