Click photo for enlargement.
This lot includes 20 Pacific miter shells that have been hand-drilled through the tips to make them into beads. They are predominantly cream with tan bands at either end.
Because these are natural shells, they vary in size. Most are between 18 to 23 mm in length with diameters of 7 to 10 mm. The holes are small, about 1 mm.
