This piece came to us unlabeled so we have no information on it at all. It's made of 2 different types of seeds.

The larger seed resembles a small pecan with its markings but is rounder and hollow. It also has a stripe that goes from end to end on one side.
The largest one measures 23 mm x 19 mm and the smallest is 19 mm x 14 mm.

The other seeds are a reddish color and are also hollow. The best description for the shape would be like that of a flying saucer. Looking down from the top they appear round but from the side they look almost oval. They are about 14 mm x 5 mm. They seem to have a lighter red circle on the top and bottom with a slightly darker red around the edges.

Hi Savannah,
the big ones you show and call pecan nuts ressemble to me as Hevea Brasiliensis seeds (Hevea nut) The rubber tree.
The flying saucer ones I have in sparkling red and those are Red sandalwood, Adenanthera pavonina. Maybe yours belong to the same family?

I would guess that these may be from the Philippines, where a lot of different seed beads have been made, often for export.

These, again, are not really prayer beads. JDA.
