String Of 30 Mezcala Greenstone Beads
Measuring 22 ½” in length with beads ranging in length from 3/8” to 2 1/8”, this strand of 30 pieces (RFM58) offers an interesting variety of biconically drilled, semi-polished to polished greenstone beads including tube, disk, pebble, round, and flare types. None of the beads have been tested to determine mineral type but not one appears to be jadeite, and all are probably metadiorite, a stone commonly found in Guerrero bead assemblages. This is a good type group from the local collection of one of the founders of the now defunct Rocky Mountain Institute of Pre-Columbian Studies. The strand comes with a small display card, a map of Mexico highlighting the Mezcala area, and our certificate guaranteeing authenticity. Don’t forget to watch for additional pieces that will soon be listed under the prefix RFM from this interesting and newly consigned collection.
