Carnelian Pendants, Strand butterfly polished beads at the topThese spade, heart and ax shaped pendants are each unique in shape and color and are rare in carnelian (the shape is most commonly seen in bloodstone). Hand carved in India, traded in Mali in the early mid 1900's. Very funky, and with some imperfections. They will vary in size, but average size is 22 x 26mm to 28 x 32mm. About 90 pendants per strand, 33 inches long. Please note: the hole drilled for stringing at the top of the bead is very, very small
