Ancient Suns

Large jade type bead, of exceptional color and quality. This bead is from the Colima Culture, 200 BC to 200 AD. The Colima Culture flourished in the area of Western Mexico, that is now the State of Colima. The bead does have a couple of areas of surface erosion(as can be seen in the photos), and it has a small, old chip, near one of the stringing holes. These do not lessen the impressiveness of this beautiful bead. It has a wonderful high polish and high degree of translucence.
