A strand of antique natural red coral beads from the Mediterranean

The patina on these beads is very worn and suggests age to be a few hundred years at least 300 to 400 this is just an approximation

These corals were traded item especially to the east locations such as Nepal & Tibet these locations are land locked therefore have no corals of their own

The red colors of the coral has a spiritual value for the Tibetans

For antique corals collectors only
