Beautiful super jumbo-sized groundhog grey recycled glass SINGLE bead. These great beads are made by the Krobo People of Ghana, Africa. Powder glass beads are made by crushing glass to a fine powder and heating it so that the particles fuse together. The glass is then poured into clay molds, with a cassava leaf stem used to make the hole. They are baked in an oven and the glass fuses and the cassava stem burns up. This technique has been used in Africa for centuries. Each bead is unique and may vary in size and shape with minor variations in color. Hole size and shape will show some irregularity due to the way the beads are made. This extra large jumbo-sized bead may be used as a pendant, for macrame, or other design project.

Make A Statement With This!

I just LOVE the quality of ALL of the beads in my last order. I am always impressed with the quality of each and every item, the use of 'green' packaging, fabulous customer service, and super fast shipping. The Bead Chest is a treasure trove of very unique beads at reasonable prices and I shall continue to support this fine business. Heartfelt thanks for everything you have done over the years.

Nice statement piece

It goes well with either silver, or gold, or bronze, and it looks nice regardless.

Love these beads

Every single bead is beautiful and exactly what I hoped. Each bead has a story to tell; combining them for a single piece of jewelry is fascinating and rewarding. I am very happy that I stumbled across the Bead Chest on line. Thank you for offering a quality product.

Great size and color

Although the glass bead is a great size, the finish could be a little shinier. The picture I added makes it look brighter than its actual appearance. It's actually a very dark cobalt.

Great size, dull finish

Although the glass bead is a great size, the finish is very dull. The picture I added makes it look brighter than its actual appearance.
