Spiral Carved Natural Cape Amethyst beads, 17-19mm x 12mm. Pkg 1. b4-ame238

Vintage hand carved swirled oval Cape Amethyst beads, light lavender with darker zoning. These have been in our "hoard" drawer for many years and we are finally deciding to sell them. They are deeply and evenly carved and have good polishing. The quality of the carving is wonderful and even. They would make nice focal beads. Size varies, but they average 17 to 19mm long and about 12mm wide. These beads are much shinier, colorful and prettier than in the picture. (They look kinda grey and frosty in the picture which they aren't). Gemmy and semi-translucent.
