g) Malachite beads. Absolute bargain for jewellery maker, This is a large collection of 41 malachite pre-bored beads of assorted sizes, weighing 210g (which includes the plastic spacer-beads that weigh almost nothing), that are from a malachite necklace I bought in Abomey in R.P. Benin, West Africa, in . About 10 years ago the cord broke and some of the beads fell. Consequently, one of the smaller beads has a shard sheared off it, which could be glued back on by a dextrous person!I am selling this as a collection of pre-bored malachite beads, not as a necklace. To buy this number of pre-polished, pre-bored malachite beads separately would cost a whole lot more than this. There a 41 beads, with a large one (2.2cm diameter) that went at the centre at the front.There are loads of little green plastic beads that separated the malachite beads. I cannot guarantee that every single one of the plastic beads is there but if not, then very nearly. The total weight is 210g, which includes the spacer beads, but these are so tiny they must weigh next to nothing.There is no clasp - it was just slipped over the head. £, Folkestone,.
