Four wafer-shaped mother-of-pearl beads were unearthed from Chanhu-daro. Beads of this particular substance are very rare at Mohenjo-daro. Jade does not seem to have been used at Chanhu-daro, and this statement also applies to various other stones that were used for bead at Mohenjo-daro. A large number of nodules of carnelian and agate were discovered from Chanhu-daro - the former being as a rule easily distinguishable from the latter by the darkness of its skin.
