Due to it’s rich history, an abundance of ancient ruins can be found in the region. Old glass beads such these are sometimes found in the ground where they have lain buried for centuries. It is not uncommon for mineralization of the glass to occur over such an extended period however the beads may be cleaned and oiled to enhance their color.
