<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 282153, member: 36"]I thought they were travertine at first, but while banded they don't have that cheap, chipped look of the Mexican beads. They look like what I've seen called Native Cut beads, and could be any age. If you see a lot of wear around the bead hole, that's a good clue. If you find some Wilma Flintstone pearls, grab 'em since hers would have been natural pearls, and natural pearls that big....yowza.(LOL)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
