Description: This is one set of fourteen individual antique Bohemian crafted green faceted Vaseline beads (Bohemia is now the Czech Republic) and they were made in the 1800's from glass that contains small amounts of uranium and were used for trade with African tribal people. This set of Czech made Vaseline African trade beads is in good condition with some surface wear and the largest bead of the set measures 11.25mm long by 15.76mm wide. These European made African trade beads fluorescent under UV light also called Black Light due to the presence of uranium and are very highly desirable as they are becoming more rare to find coming out of Africa as they are running out having been mostly collected now. This Vaseline bead set is shown in the first picture under UV light and also under normal light for comparison. Be sure to review these measurements and use a caliper to understand bead size before buying.
