    Picked these up today from a street seller. They seem to be made from glass. Are they Murano or African maybe? Or maybe just dinosaur poop?

    They are about 23mm long

    Agree, Indian millefiore beads. India has a very long history of glass bead making, including trade beads.

    They're looking to be earrings, or knotted into some cord with some solid-color friends.
