Beryl crystal charms

Just like the plastic bracelet bought for a dollar or two when I was a child, it is cheap, mediocre, and green, and it is completely invisible to the weight of history and the preciousness of value, and even a search on the Internet has a large number, and it is also cheap, even more beautiful than this.
However, if you enlarge this bracelet, you will find that it has a unique hole, the crystal is crystal clear, sparkling, the faint blue is very beautiful, and there are no bubbles inside, and there is no trace of impurities.
This is a cultural relic from the Eastern Han Dynasty (25 years to 220 years), excavated in 1990 in Hepu Huangnigang No. 1 Tomb in Guangxi, according to the "Han Zhi" record "into the sea of pearls, bi displaced, strange stone foreign objects". The diplomacy of the Han Dynasty developed, and many imported products from distant oceans came to China, and then became exquisite ornaments in the hands of Chinese craftsmen, and the beryl crystal charm was one of them.
brief summary
These cultural relics are disguised like "fakes", incense boxes are made into "beer lids", bronzes are like routers, and there are "glasses" in the Warring States period...
