newer beads from the bead store.

Uncle, i know its hard to judge by pictures sometimes, but both beads and bones have heavy patina. I can see the bone grains under my 10 power magnifying loupe. If the beads are not native American they have been in the ground for a long time. I can see deterioration on a lot of them. Thanks for your opinion.

Those type of beads were popular in the 70s unless the clasp is gold or silver it isn't worth much. What is a junk drawer lot?

 

[Cosmo]

Rock grab bag of mic. Junk. So you think they are pooka shells?

 

[rock]

Yeah well at least from that area of time. Might not be the same type but from that era. I remember having one and when you went swimming in fresh or saltwater they would turn green if you didn't clean them when you got home. Saltwater was the worst on them. You can tell by the clasp they aren't that old. Vintage

Yellow... looks like probably a 30 caliber round possibly from ww2 I would check the date stamp on the bottom of the shell.
Blue... Looks like an old clay marble hand painted and salt glazed
