This is a unique strand of very old African coral.  This coral has never been dyed and was taken striaght from the coral reef, leaving each piece a slightly different color.  The coral beads are graduated the smallest, 6 mm in diameter by 5 mm long, and the largest being, 12 mm in diameter and 14 mm long.  The strand is 36 inches long and should be re-strung on something stronger, it would be wonderful as is or great re-worked into something.
