The color is different too. The Asian beads' colors remind me of old-school rice candies. These are more of a natural caramel.
Probably, but I've honestly never cared enough to find out.
Hmm - oddly I'm told they're both man-made to some extent. One is glass and the other is reconstituted stone. Go figure. The natural stone...
