It is suggested that as much as 75% of Baltic amber has this quality of color and appearance, ranging from dense white in color through tones of yellow, tawny gold (butterscotch), cognac red-brown and black (deepest brown). For the general European taste and aesthetic, clear \"sunshine\" yellow Amber is regarded as superior to \"cloudy\" opaque Ambers. Transparent clear Amber was viewed more to resemble precious stones (Topaz, Citrine, Yellow Sapphire) that are highly valued for their clarity and gem qualities. Likewise the European aesthetic appreciated transparent Amber as more often there are clearly defined \"inclusions\" and materials visibly trapped inside during the Amber formation\/ fossilization period; animal, vegetable, and more rarely mineral. The purveyors and merchants of Baltic Amber would usually export cloudier Ambers abroad as inferior or less desirable. When true, natural examples of this exported Amber were received in Asian destinations such as China, Nepal, Tibet and as far as Mali, West Africa, this cloudy material (with it's rich color variations and warm hues) was much preferred to clear Amber. The natural Baltic cloudy Ambers became the traditional standard of beauty and quality in these areas, and entered their cultural vernaculars as the highly valued, precious Prestige and Heirloom commodity it remains to this very day.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eFree-form nuggets ranging in size from 10mm smallest to 17mm largest center nugget.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eKnotted on natural silk cord with a gold vermeil hook clasp.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eThe gorgeous \"Trade Beads\" are Baltic Amber in origin and are in the same configuration as they were found years ago in \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eKathmandu, Nepal\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Beads of Paradise NYC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45207931524,"sku":"11260","price":2240.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0371\/8597\/products\/IMG_1291-01.jpg?v=1716506858"},{"product_id":"aquamarine-14mm-bracelet-on-elastic-cord","title":"Aquamarine 14mm Stretch Bracelet on Elastic Cord","description":"\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAquamarine Bracelet 14mm on Stretch Cord\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApprox.

In ancient Asia, magicians believed that agates might be used to see the future, ward off evil, and to divert dangerous storms . Early Britons believed the stone might prevent skin disease. Agate talismans were worn in the Middle East and believed to keep the blood healthy and sucking on an agate was thought to relieve thirst. Another legend says that any person who looks upon an agate can not remain secretive and is obligated to tell the truth. \u003c\/span\u003eAgate is commonly found in folklore to induce calming, aid in protection, and promoting a balanced body energy.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBead Approx. 18mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrand Approx. 25\" (Beaded Section 19\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThese beautiful natural stones originated in India and were traded through Nepal, Tibet and the Middle East.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Beads of Paradise NYC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45207218372,"sku":"12106(B)","price":465.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0371\/8597\/products\/IMG_3875-01.jpg?v=1516749413"},{"product_id":"banded-agate-xtra-large-rondelle-heirloom-bead-necklaces","title":"Banded Agate Xtra Large Rondelle Heirloom Bead Necklaces","description":"\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBanded Agate Xtra Large Rondelle Heirloom Bead Necklaces\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSuleiman agates, or Solomon’s agates, are a highly revered bead throughout the Near East and Central Asia that has been shrouded in mystery for centuries.
