Ancient Suns

Large and very rare colored, Mayan blue jadeite bead. This bead is exceptional for its particular color of blue; most Olmec and Mayan blue jadeites are more blue/green in color. This bead is a true blue, with smokey clouds of grey. The bead, for some reason, is somewhat rustically formed, in terms of shape. This may have been an attempt on the part of the bead’s craftsman, to preserve as much of the rare colored jadeite as possible. The bead has very deep and smooth conical drilling.

26mm in diameter, and 18mm at its thickest point
