<p>[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 1702902, member: 2844"]Black coral is lightweight as quirky said, and warm to the touch. If it is a piece of branch, it usually has tiny bumps on the surface, as if it has goose bumps/chicken skin. In that case the ends show one or more rings, like growth rings on a tree. It is rarely shiny, and rarely uniform in shape.</p><p><br /></p><p>My guess for your beads is onyx, but the strange wavy pattern on the end of this one makes me think maybe glass?</p><p><img src="https://www.antiquers.com/attachments/19cf9809-d0b0-4e1f-9e3c-8d05529e3696-jpeg.236526/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
