Can anyone identify the cab material used in these vintage earrings?

The narrow dangles I've owned for over a decade, and I think they've faded from the olive color they used to be.

The big ovates I just purchased. Both are set in sterling silver, both are older vintage pieces.

I love the layers, and I don't THINK they are stone, though I haven't poked them much....

Thoughts??
