This beautiful old bead has had much repair work in its lifetime of being traded throughout North Africa. It has 6 pins in place, giving it character and interest. Double-drilled. It is very robust. 

It is not plastic, faux amber, bakelite, phenolic or copal – this bead is real authentic amber – it has been tested using multiple tests including UV light and saline tests.

This bead is already drilled and therefore suitable to be strung on a necklace if desired.

Please note: The colour of the individual pieces of amber will vary according to light conditions. We have endeavoured to make the photos as near to the correct colouring as possible.
