[QUOTE="KSW, post: 9337337, member: 8708"]Any suggestions welcome as Mary Contrary says they don’t exist in her universe :rolleyes: I thought Tigers Eye but it doesn’t look right. Unassuming brown gemstone beads but they have some flecks on the outside of some and some clear colourless areas. Over a phone light some are completely opaque and others are translucent showing red, swirls and inclusions. The red hint is there without the light but it is too transient to catch it on a photo. Just plain agate? Strung on red thread with a cheap manky clasp and glue so not considered to be anything special by the person who strung them although they are knotted. Each bead is c 1.5cm and not reactive to UV. Thanks for looking.
