Hello WenP, Apple coral is typically straw-colored with blush areas that are reddish, and a "spongy" texture (it being a non-precious soft variety of coral). Viewing your photo, I would have to guess the cylindrical beads are old plastic. Perhaps casein—though this is not easily determined from a photo. Are the spherical beads harder than the plastic beads, or similar? They look something like a mineral, but do not look like any coral species I know. (Have you tried searches here? There are MANY posts that would help you recognize what it and is not coral.) Be well. Jamey All rights reserved by Bead Collector Network and its users |
