Agree, all chalcedony (quartz) of one type or another. When it's opaque it is usually called jasper, as cluttered said. The larger beads are...
I.e., daddy used it as a stud box.
Slightly better: [ATTACH]
A man's travelling stud box, part of a matched set of luggage? Any evidence there was once an upper tray? Think a salesman's sample would be...
