Description

  • Bold, dark green Guatemalan greenstone beads on graduated 22-inch strands
  • Beads range from 9x11mm to 12x20mm
  • These are exactly the type of beads Frieda Kahlo is often pictures wearing
  • They were popular among both the Maya and the ancient Aztec people
  • I have several sources for these Maya reproduction beads throughout Guatemala
  • Guatemalan Greenstone is a form of Serpentine, and among a class of green stones, referred to as "cultural jades" by archeologists, because the Maya used them interchangeably with real jade, apparently valuing all of these stones equally.
