Hi Nishedha, OK. You think they are reasonably similar. I say (again) their SHAPES and (possibly) sizes are similar. Apart from all of these beads being agate (presumably), that's where the similarity ends. The beads you show are essentially translucent with brown and pale straw-colored layers. And they are more random. The beads Russ asked about are opaque, with strong white and black layers that tend to be fairly consistent. I have seen quite a few of these beads—all of them. I am very surprised you don't appreciate/recognize the difference. I recognize the German beads, and I recognize them to be 20th C. products made to copy older beads. Be well.
