Three principal types of etching, as discussed earlier, were noticed on carnelian beads (Dikshit, 1952). The long-barrel circular beads and leech-shaped beads were found not only at Ahichchhatra but also at Kaushambi, Taxila etc. The beads must have had common origin of manufacture; etched agate and carnelian possibly came from the Cambay area.
