Some of my drilled stone bead preforms awaiting their fate.  Longest bead is 65 mm long.

Hey there Lithicbeads! After viewing the close up shot, I'm assuming these beads are stone? They are nice!

The answer my friend, is inside a rock...  :icon_scratch:

Wow. If you'd drilled the largest one perpendicularly you could've made a decent striking tool... . That's a big bead!

Lots of variety in the shapes there. That's a nice collection.

What an inspiring heap of holes!! It's been a few days now and I keep coming to look at them again and again. So many funky little shapes!
