I KNOW where the beads originate, my question: if you purchased a strand of beads in antique store, how could you determine whether they were coral or glass? Is there a specific test for this? Thanking you...

Coral beads are made from coral (the coral in the ocean), which is now illegal to use. Glass beads are made from glass.

What odame said. Coral is made of organic material (coral is a living creature that's hard like a rock and leaves a hard, porous skeleton when it dies. This is what the beads are made of)

Czech beads are frequently larger high quality than maximum beads, and often have a extra effective decision of colours. the only undertaking i've got seen nicer (in need of semi-invaluable and invaluable stones) is Swarovski crystal. maximum of your prevalent beads are made in China (they're ok) or India (maximum of those are crap--you are able to frequently tell them aside in craft shops because of the fact the luggage have bead seperator dirt all over the interior).
