CARD ORIGINALLY IDENTIFIED THIS AS "POLISHED MINERAL ORNAMENTS (2 PIECES)". ADDED TO CARD REMARKS LATER (?): "REDDISH-YELLOW COLORED CYLINDRICAL STONE BEAD."Attributed to U.S. Exploring Expedition/Wilkes collection on the catalogue card, however Jane Walsh doubts that attribution. Card calls it "N.W. Coast of America", however it resembles magnesite stone beads in use in California.
