Description

  • These beads are priced and sold by the set of 3
  • Guatemalan greenstone large rounded beads about 20mm diameter
  • Holes are at least 2mm
  • Replicas of ancient Maya jade beads, similar to those Frida Kahlo like to wear in her self-portraits. 
  • Just like the original Maya beads, some of these are a little irregular or have marks left by the carving tools. They are hand-made.
  • Guatemalan Greenstone is a form of Serpentine, and among a class of green stones, referred to as "cultural jades" by archeologists, because the Maya used them interchangeably with real jade, apparently valuing all of these stones equally.
