Malachite Zaire Natural Beads Chips Strand Hong Kong

These strands came out of Zaire 100%.  Funny to call rocks vintage isn't it? I purchased an entire load of different type strands back in the late 80's.  This is not some fake dyed Chinese howlite rock - these are true malachite beads - chip form - they range 3mm to 5mm in size and make  for lovely accents. The strand measures 36" long. It's strung on fishing nylon so the hole is not big.
