<p>[QUOTE="KikoBlueEyes, post: 451538, member: 8363"]I think they are made of rock. Perhaps the mineral - Red Jasper with impurities. They are variable in shape; the roundness and gloss could be due to polishing once they were cut. What convinces me, though, is there is a small fracture line on a bead in the second to last picture pointing to a crystalline formation. Bronwen's piece is of the true mineral red jasper.</p><p>Here is a chart on identifying jasper. <img src="https://i-h2.pinimg.com/564x/91/3c/8c/913c8cfff1bd4d89c5b571aa439d3f42.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
