Vintage Indian sunstone beads

Sometimes in a dark corner, treasures are discovered. These Sunstones are new old stock, so they are totally untreated and hand-shaped. They have nice fire when held under the light. The stones are smooth and graduated within each strand. The stones range in size from 18 mm for the centerpiece bead to 10 mm for the smallest bead. There is nice variation from light to dark within the beads and there are great flecks of gold in the beads, too. The beads range from rounded to somewhat flat. Each strand is 16 inches long and contains approximately 30 beads.
