White Beads Appraisal

White Tumbled Stone Beads / Pebbles

This item is a clear plastic bag filled with small, tumbled white stones or pebbles, likely intended for crafting, decorative, or aquarium use. The stones are irregular in shape, with some appearing more rounded and others exhibiting flatter or more angular facets. Their color is a consistent pure white, with some pieces showing a slight translucent quality, allowing for light to pass through. The surface texture of most stones appears smooth and polished, characteristic of a tumbling process, though there are visible inconsistencies with some stones showing small, unpolished, or slightly rougher areas. Several pieces distinctly feature a small, drill-like hole, often occurring near the center or off-center of the stone, indicating they are likely intended as beads for stringing or wiring. The size of the stones varies but generally appears to range from approximately 0.5 cm to 1.5 cm in their longest dimension. There are no visible markings, manufacturer's stamps, or notable damage like chips or cracks on the individual stones. The plastic bag itself is a simple, clear, self-sealing type, showing some minor creasing but no tears or punctures. The overall condition of the stones appears very good, consistent with newly manufactured or processed material. The uniform color and drilled holes suggest a modern manufacturing process, likely within the last few decades, as opposed to naturally occurring or ancient artifacts.
