Description: FULL STRAND OF SAHARA NEOLITHIC QUARTZ BEADS. These fine prehistoric beads are about 1/4" to 5/8" in diameter (6 -15 mm) and varying thickness. The string is 33" long with 28" of beads for a total of about 190 beads. Check the photos to see how they will work for you because these are the actual beads you will receive. They are in very good condition with minor ancient damage from age & use. You can't tell from these photos, but the holes are conical in shape, indicative of their being made by hand and ancient age. Imagine the time it took to make each one of these little beauties by hand several thousand years ago. They were found in the Western Sahara Desert of North Africa and are from the Neolithic Era (New Stone Age) which dates back 3,500 - 8,000 years. These are wonderful prehistoric collectible artifacts and are great for making very special jewelry. (I offer 1-day shipping as a matter of course, and often ship the same day payment is received. I figure once you've paid for something you own it, and should have it as soon as possible.) As with all of my artifacts, they are guaranteed authentic for life. I COMBINE SHIPPING, so if you are buying multiple auction items, please don't pay until I send you a combined shipping invoice. Additional items may cost you very little more, if anything, for shipping. STANDARD BUYER'S GUARANTEE: If you don't like this item for any reason, simply return it undamaged with 60 days of receipt for a full refund. SALES TAX: Colorado residents will be charged 8.9% sales tax. Other states that require sales tax paid for mail order purchases will be charged the applicable tax for that state. The field of Sahara Neolithic Artifacts was expanded by the advent of GPS technology available to meteorite hunters in the Sahara Desert. Thousands of years ago North Africa was a temperate environment similar to our own Great Plains. Countless generations of Stone-Age Man lived, hunted, fought and died there, leaving behind their weapons and tools. Today, North Africa consists largely of the Sahara Desert, an inhospitable area almost the size of the United States. Constantly shifting sands and the ability to now safely travel off of established trade routes have expanded this fascinating field of study by making these artifacts available to scholars and collectors around the world.
