This 10 gram lot contains about 350 natural Amazonian bamboo beads from Peru, hand-cut by Peruvian crafts people. The ends are lighly burned, producing a nice contrast with the light brown wood. Because they are fashioned from segments of bamboo stalks, there are variations in the lengths and diameters of the beads. They are about 9 mm long and 2-3 mm in diameter. The holes are not drilled but rather natural to the bamboo, and if closed can be opened easily by driving wire through them.
