You are here: Home > dZi & other Ancient, Antique & Rare Beads > Agates (Undecorated)
Here you will find a selection of natural ancient and antique agate beads from the Himalayan regions and beyond. These beads have not been decorated, however, various methods were used in antiquity to alter the colour or darken the stone. These treatments made the crystalline quartz layers more prominent and thus enhanced the appearance of eyes and stripes.
