<p>[QUOTE=&quot;wlwhittier, post: 12455370, member: 76316&quot;]The string is ~48&quot; long; there are 136 ~1/4&quot; Turquoise beads, for a total weight of ~70 grams.</p><p>Their shapes are irregular, but many are similar in that they are &#039;tooth&#039; shaped; larger on one end than the other. I suspect from the irregularity that they are roughly as-found...naturally shaped...with perhaps having been tumbled for polishing. I know little about Turquoise, so cannot say if they are &#039;treated&#039;, nor whether they are NA or Chinese; although the heishi seem to indicate the former. </p><p>The old friend I bought them from knew only that he got them in the 70&#039;s...he thinks. I welcome all your comments an&#039; suggestions.</p><p>Thanks for lookin&#039;!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]554723[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]554724[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]554725[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]554726[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]554728[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]554730[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]554731[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]554732[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]554733[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]554734[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
