Chris, Hopefully somebody in China will salvage them for their historical value. I have held these in my hands many times and I eventually decided against them. They are refined but muddy looking; magnification is necessary to see how beautiful they are. It is impossible to appreciate how beautiful they are because they are so tarnished. I would be afraid to destroy their patina; owning them is like coveting a secret. Just Fred Copyright 2024 All rights reserved by Bead Collector Network and its users
