    Brown Lip Shell 4-5mm Natural Heishi Shell Beads (~300pce Strand) - 600cm/24'" Strand.

    Heishe or heishi (pronounced "hee shee") are small disc- or tube-shaped beads made of organic shells or ground and polished stones. They come from the Kewa Pueblo People (formerly Santo Domingo Pueblo) of New Mexico, before the use of metals in jewellery by that people. The name is the word for shell bead in the Eastern Keresan language of the Santo Domingo Indians.

    These Heishi beads are made from natural brown lip shell, a species of oyster.
