Strand of Rare Teal Majapahit Beads aquamarine worn smooth from wearTraded in Indonesia around 800 years ago, this is an impressive strand of 32 medium size (approx 17mm long x 18mm diameter) teal color Majapahit beads. A few of these beads are chipped and have a rather matte finish from hundreds of years of wear. A bit of Jojoba oil or shea butter will bring out the rich color. Quite rare!
