Ancient Near East Beads – Carnelian, Banded Agate, Jasper & Garnet

Near East and Eastern Mediterranean. A loose assemblage of hardstone beads, gathered across the warm spectrum of the chalcedony family: carnelian in fiery orange and brick-red, banded agate, and dense jasper, with a scattered few in honeyed amber and deep aubergine tones. There is a single wine red stone that is likely a garnet. The forms range from barrel and biconical to oblate, spherical, and elongated cylinders, each pierced through its long axis for stringing.
