Description
- Large white and orange carnelian bead from the pre-Columbian Tairona culture of Colombia. 12x12mm with large conical holes clearly hand drilled from both ends
- The Tairona thrived in coastal and highland Colombia from 250BC until about 1600 AD when they began fighting the Spanish conquerors
- The Tairona are probably most famous for their goldsmithing
- The Ancient glass collection is becoming the Ancient Glass and Stone collection because it's easier to find ancient beads in this small collection than in the huge Gemstone Collection.
