Rare Antique Very Old Tibetan Turquoise Bead Beautiful Worn Patina

  

RARE ANTIQUE VERY OLD TIBETAN TURQUOISE BEAD - BEAUTIFUL WORN PATINA. Size 26.0mm x 22mm x 14.4mm. One of my early beads in my collection! I've had this bead for 30 years. Collected by me at source in the Himalayas! A little backstory about me... I've been collecting old beads since the early 1990's where I spent a considerable amount of time living in the Indian Himalayan region and trading with old bead traders. That was where I first developed a fascination and love for ancient beads more than 30 years ago. These old beads have wear reflective of their prior usage, age and history.
