    Is there any indication of age from these beads please?
    The clear round ones test as rock crystal which was a nice surprise. Been restrung so no idea if it's the original clasp. Mary contrary refuses to test the smaller faceted beads but as they are a mish mash of styles I'm presuming glass.
    The carnelian beads are huge 15mm and very heavy. Some of them are quite rough cut as you can see.
    Thanks for looking :)

    I'd call those agate rather than carnelian/cornelian; the latter are generally a uniform color and translucent. Those spacers do look like glass. I'd bet the clasp is original to some of the spacers but not the bigger beads.
