The Phumtek beads of Burma are also similar in some ways to dzi , but instead of agate, the Phumtek are generally made from fossilized palm wood. This material is indigenous to Northwestern Burma and Pumteks are therefore very distinct from other stone beads found in Asia. Pumteks that have travelled as a result of trade can also be found in neighbouring countries such as N orthEastern India and Thailand. This particular phumtek is unusually Unique because of its big size. The bead size is approximately 32 mm in diameter and it weighs around appropriately 20 Grams as shown in the picture. Very big & unusual size. It glows under UV light. Let me know if you are interested.
