Ancient Bactrian Agate Strand, C copal these finely faceted thick rondelleBeautiful and rare very old agate beads from the ancient central Asian country of Bactria. (Now Northern Afghanistan) Strung and traded in Afghanistan. These are quite old, best guess 1000 1200 years old, highly collectible with striation and subtle colors. 1 Mother of Pearl bead.
