Very large Moroccan copal bead for jewelry making or other tribal fusion belly dance DIY projects. Large copal resin beads are often used in Moroccan jewelry and jewelry from other North African areas. These beads are handmade in Morocco from tree resins and shaped into all sizes of beads. Because of the handmade nature of these beads, they are not perfectly round and reflect the tribal nature of their origin. Copal beads have been made in North Africa for many many years and incorporated into local jewelry styles . They are made in many colors, from beautiful amber yellow to orange to cherry red. Each bead has a fairly large hole for stringing onto necklaces or other projects. Copal beads are sometimes coated in varnish to improve color and shine. Beautiful focal bead from tribal Morocco!
