    Are these common beads found at craft stores or something else?
    The red, fat, tube like ones are some type of stone & cold to the touch. The ivory looking ones are not plastic, that's all I know, I did the hot pin test on those (yes, I know many of you say not to do that, but I couldn't resist:cat:). I can usually tell ivory from bone, but in this case I'm stumped. Any ideas & thoughts are welcomed & appreciated, thanks.

    The two rectangular beads with the round circle designs I've seen in catalogs of import bead supplies, I believe identified as from Nepal, but could be Indonesia also.

    the cream colored ones are bone, likely african....but may be from the islands of the pacific..
