PCJ 079 Rare Large Pre-Columbian Patterned Jadeite Bead
Very rare and beautiful, patterned jadeite tubular bead, from the area that is now Western Mexico, and the State of Colima. In this bead, the mineral deposits within the jade, have formed a pattern that gives it the effect of being a decorated bead, not unlike the decorated beads of Asia. Excellent condition. Provenance: The former Ron Merrick Gallery of Santa Fe
