Found these gemstones in my basement

[zachs3]

Hi everybody, I recently found this small old case of gemstones left in my basement by one of the previous owners of my house. I am not sure what kind they are, possibly jade? Also you can see there is some brown dust and residue on the gems but it seems like it comes right off with some good cleaning. I have taken some pictures and I was wondering what all of you think, and if you guys could help me to distinguish what these things actually are and if the have any value? Thanks so much!

They look like milk glass beads

Could they be worth anything? And if so what do you suggest I should do?

If they are old marbles they could be(especially Old wooden marbles)
