Assorted Quartz Beads (ex Bill Larson Collection)

Item Description

Here we have a beautiful set of unique antique Quartz beads from the an ancient city of Bagan (a UNESCO World Heritage Site) in Myanmar. The set features polished beads of colorless to slightly smoky colored Quartz that range between 9 mm up to 42 mm at the longest dimension. Most of the beads are rounded and polished, but one of them interestingly still has its original hexagonal crystal form preserved, with small decorative carving features on the surface. While some of the beads are loose, others are strung together into a bracelet sized piece of jewelry. A really cool set from an ancient city reflecting its beautiful culture. I can safely say that you may never have another chance to get a set of beads like this, so don't pass up the opportunity to get your hands on these attractive pieces from this famous historic area. The total weight of all items in this set is 142.3 grams. From the collection of Bill ("Burma Bill") Larson of Fallbrook, California. Bill is a well-known gem and mineral dealer as well as a miner and collector. Bill traveled the world for decades in search of fine gems and minerals, and was directly involved in the in-person acquisition and importation of superb specimens and stones from Myanmar (Burma).
