    @Hollyblue Do you mind looking and taking a stab at these? Approx 12-14mm or so

    They want to be coral. They might be Chinese dyed white fossil coral.

    They look like it and they're certainly coral-colored. The Chinese mine this white coral sometimes and then dye it red, usually. I've never seen it done in the salmon orange before but can't say I'm surprised. No idea where it was assembled.
