Original Message: Help needed for unusual bead

Any ideas about this bead? It is about 31 mm long, and has an irregular pattern of white crumbs, plus two irregular bands of aventurine. The surface shows a reasonable amount of fine pitting and one large damage "pit" - both features indicating that the bead has been around for a "while".
To my eye, it looks too messy a composition to be a Venetian bead. What do you think?
