Hi Rosanna

The second from the right in your lower photo has what has been described in the past as a 'brecciated' centre (Stef T will tell you by whom - possibly John Picard? - I can't remember). The one with the green, brown, white and blue murrini.

They are not common, even on Venetian beads, but they are a Venetian feature, and this one (at least) looks ok to me, as far as one can tell from a photo. I have several examples (which I can try and find) and Stef has some too.
