Beautiful super jumbo-sized light blue 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.

    Magnificent Blue

    Extreme beads for large projects, more than likely they will become gifts.

    Super Blue!

    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.
