    Welcome @ALEPIDIS EFTHIMIOS .
    Stunning beads. Great size, and lovely sheen.
    I agree, it looks like dyed coral, but some natural coral can look like that.

    You can test it by holding a Q-tip soaked in acetone against the coral in an inconspicuous spot for ca 3 minutes. Don't rub, you get the best result if you gently push it against the coral.
    If the Q-tip turns red, the coral is dyed. If not, you have some beautiful red coral.

    I left it for 5 minutes in acetone. Nothing happened. I wiped it and it was as I had put it in the beginning. Does that mean it is authentic? What is its value?
