It's very good to hear from you. Strange - I was just thinking about you earlier today (looking at some of the ancient jet beads you gave me), and hoping you were well. I didn't realize that those flat agates from Iran were used as "tongue beads." They're such an elegant shape and I always imagined their form was simply decorative.
And Abhaya, unfortunately it would make sense for Eric's cicada to be a modern Chinese fake. Do you have any images of similar jades?
Best,
Will
