[QUOTE="all_fakes, post: 144111, member: 55"]They are somewhat similar types of shell beads; the heishi are more even, due to the grinding after being strung. Puka beads also have a long and interesting history; they were originally beach-found natural beads, formed by the action of the surf on cone shells, leaving a cone-shaped disc with a natural hole, which could be easily strung into necklaces. Now of course puka and puka-style beads are also manufactured both in Hawaii and abroad.[/QUOTE]
