CSP1) CHINA, a clam shell, carved into an oval, 3 holes bored, 78x65mm, highly polished, worn on a string for many years, there is no calcination as might be expected with ancient shell, but then again not all ancient shell is calcinated.  This is the kind of thing you'd expect to find in New Guinea but it is from China.  I have no idea how old it is, but seems "original." $24.00 sold
