    Agree with Xristina, 'goldstone', which is a man made substance that incorporates copper flakes in a resin. Have read it was developed quite a long time ago & is a fairly difficult process, or was difficult to develop. There is also a blue version you don't see as much. And look like worry beads to me too.

    That looks like an elastic bracelet with stretched-out elastic. They were popular for a few years; this would have cost a fair bit new. The goldstone glass has been around since Victorian times, and it's always been sold like a semi-precious stone. I'd be cutting it up for the beads, since the elastic appears shot.

    Well when the buyer gets it eventually, they can resting it to make whatever they like. ;):p:D:D

    I tried restringing something a few years back & it was a miserable failure. :eek::eek::bag::bag:
    I can't imaging how bad it would be if I tried it now with my fingers as bad as they are & not being able to bend the first knuckle on 3 of the fingers. :arghh::arghh::arghh::arghh:

    It wouldn't be a tough job for me, but not worth the effort. No one wants the bracelets any more, the shark has been jumped, but the beads are nice.
