Yes, they have more gravel in them. I think they take whatever is available, in the environments they live, so these cases can contain all sorts of materials. I believe that some even use tiny sticks. There's a website that shows the gem-studded cases - cannot find just now. Even if it is something a little different, it appears to be the same idea - congratulations on his find to Giorgio's friend.
