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
