10 Shell Beads
For the jewelry-maker or beading enthusiast, here are 10 heishi beads made of genuine Ostrich Shell. These were made in Africa out of abandoned eggs. They are simple, round-shaped, and thin. They may have traces of an oily residue on them, due to the preservative when originally strung. A truly rare and unique item--you will love to explain to people what your jewelry is created from!
[Please allow for natural variations in the beads.]
Don't even worry that these might break. Egg Shell, you ask? Yes, but these have been through the break-test and have proven to be just as strong as any stone of this thickness. You'll have absolutely nothing to worry about with these suckers!
