Description

  • Ancient Persian blue chalcedony strand, 10 inches long
  • Pendant measures 20x29mm with 29 beads
  • The name, chalcedony has been traced to an ancient Greek town in Turkey called Chalkedon. As early as the Bronze Age (3300-1200 BC) in the eastern Mediterranean lands chalcedony was popular for seals and jewelry. Soon it was also traded along the Central Asian routes where these beads were found.
  • I'm posting these in the glass collection, just to make it easier for seekers after ancient beads to find. They also show up in Gemstones and Asian Beads.
