Description: (40) CHOICE NEOLITHIC QUARTZ DISK BEADS. These quality prehistoric artifacts are 1/2" to 5/8" in diameter (12 - 15mm), 1/8" thick, and in very good condition. As you look closely at the holes you will see that they are conical in shape or off center, an indication of their ancient age and being made by hand. These are the actual beads you are buying. They were found in the western Sahara Desert of North Africa and are from the Neolithic Era (New Stone Age) which dates back 3,500 - 8,000 years ago. These are wonderful for jewelry making or art work, and are just plain great collectibles. (I offer 1-day shipping as a matter of course, and often ship the same day payment is received. I figure once you've paid for something you own it, and might as well have it as soon as possible.) As with all of my artifacts, these are guaranteed authentic for life! GUARANTEE: If you are not satisfied with this item for any reason, return it undamaged within 60 days for a full refund in the U.S. SALES TAX: Colorado residents will be charged 8.9% sales tax. Other states that require sales tax paid for mail order purchases will be charged the applicable tax for that state. The field of Sahara Neolithic Artifacts was expanded by the advent of GPS technology available to meteorite hunters in the Sahara Desert. Thousands of years ago North Africa was a temperate environment similar to our own Great Plains. Countless generations of Stone-Age Man lived, hunted, fought and died there, leaving behind their weapons and tools. Today, North Africa consists largely of the Sahara Desert, an inhospitable area almost the size of the United States. Constantly shifting sands and the ability to now safely travel off of established trade routes have expanded this fascinating field of study by making these artifacts available to scholars and collectors around the world.
