Amber, Burmese Weng Amber, Nan Hong Agate Pumpkin Bead, Baltic Honey Wax, Bracelet

Introduction: Ancient people used Nan Hong Agate for medicinal purposes, to nourish the heart and blood. Those who follow Buddhism believe it holds special powers. The "red pearl" (true pearl) among the Seven Treasures of Buddhism refers to Nan Hong Agate. It stands alongside Hetian Jade and Emerald, forming a dominant trio. The surface of this old Nan Hong Agate pumpkin bead exhibits natural craquelure and a well-developed patina due to its age. The accent beads, Burmese Weng Amber, are a true black, non-transparent amber with a blue fluorescence. The reason for Weng Amber's opacity is thought by some to be its high degree of petrification, resulting in a lack of transparency. This bracelet is an early collectible. As an older piece, minor old chips, marks, or cracks are inevitable. Those seeking absolute perfection should consider this carefully.
