Specifics Material: Ostrich Shell Color: Opaque off-white with occasional black flecks Approximate size & shape of beads: Heishi; 1-2mm thick and 10-15mm across 10 Shell Beads For the jewelry-maker or beading enthusiast, here are 10 heishi beads made of genuine Ostrich Shell. These were made in Africa out of abandoned eggs. They are simple, round-shaped, and thin. They may have traces of an oily residue on them, due to the preservative when originally strung. A truly rare and unique item--you will love to explain to people what your jewelry is created from! [Please allow for natural variations in the beads.] Don't even worry that these might break. Egg Shell, you ask? Yes, but these have been through the break-test and have proven to be just as strong as any stone of this thickness. You'll have absolutely nothing to worry about with these suckers! Become a fan of Ephemerala on Facebook! Make a website at CityMax.com
