Featured Silly question about beads

Good day to all
My silly question this time is about a small stretch bracelet I found in a lot. I tossed it in a bag to sell in a craft lot. Then I noticed the beads feel and sound like glass. But they are not uniform. They reminded me of pearls that do not have perfectly round and smooth shape. Also different shades of green.
Is this common with glass beads? I just always assumed they are mass produced and uniform size/color round and smooth.
Any input is always appreciated

Many glass beads don't have a uniform shape. Great photos.
And no, it is not a silly question, there is no such thing.

 

Ok. That's good to know!
I always associated this with more "natural" materials.
Thanks

 

I agree, believe me I have tested it
(I may have come close more than once though….)

 

What about a question just for laughs?
What kind of material is this? Bone? Tusk?
Who would wear something that looks like a toenail with fungus?
Well...maybe it looked better originally?

 

Horn?

 

We're these popular at some point? Plastic band looks mass produced, right?

 

Have you got a UV light? The band may well be horn too?. Horn fluoresces under UV. If you have a look through a loupe you may be able to see if it is horn or plastic. Unfortunately your photo isn’t clear enough to see.

 

Looks like water buffalo horn.

 

That's my guess too.

 

Horn throughout to my eye.

 

And to mine.

 

horn....which is why it looks like a toenail...
