Bauxite is an aluminium ore. In its natural state, it is usually speckled or mottled in appearance, with orange and gray deposits. Colors can range from rust-brown to beautiful sunset hues, like salmon pink. Of course, being resourceful as they are, the people of Ghana have long known the beautiful properties of bauxite. Being a soft mineral, it’s relatively easy to manipulate into cylindrical shapes and tubes. Ghanaians wear Bauxite beads during religious rites. Bauxite Beads are still produced in abundance in Ghana.
