Original Message:   Re: your orange heishe are spondylous shell

Totally agree the red- orange beads are spondylous. But most modern 'heishi' shaped spiny oyster beads are thinner and smoother.. (Most of the Mexican and native American spiny oyster strands are machine made today.) These look like very old beads, it's been awhile since I've shopped these but.. possibly Peruvian? Id say do a search for Moche spondalyous beads on eBay.. The large focal/center beads on these strands are beautiful! Copyright 2024 All rights reserved by Bead Collector Network and its users
