<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 4389508, member: 5833&quot;]From the closeup pic, the green bead looks like it could be green aventurine.&nbsp; That or chrysoprase.&nbsp; The beads are all forms of quartz, just different colors &amp; degrees of opacity.&nbsp; The translucent type is called chalcedony; if it&#039;s opaque it is lumped into the catchall term jasper unless it has its own name, such as bloodstone.&nbsp; Agate is not a type of mineral, it&#039;s what we call some formations chalcedony.</p><p><br /></p><p>Think you are right about the 70s.</p><p><br /></p><p>The knots are very strange, to me at least.&nbsp; The underlying knots look ordinary; it&#039;s that dark cord that has been threaded through that is weird.&nbsp; Slapdash, looks added later by someone with too much time on their hands.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
