    Does anyone think this is an older strand of red coral? I am perplexed. What say ye?

    I'd think glass. See those little popped bubbles on the outside of some beads? You don't get those in coral.

    They are not uniform in color or size.

    Coral was used on teething rings. Glass...not so much.
