So I need help from my stone-y friends, lol. What are these? The big disc has a small loop of glass beads so maybe was part of a pendant, it is translucent and has striations throughout but the surface is smooth. It isn't cold or heavy, but it isn't plastic, either. Some form of shell or horn? The other looks like glass but there's no seams or bubbles. Has wavy lines like the inside of a geode, is translucent. Some sort of stone, maybe? Opinions, ideas, thoughts, theories, greatly appreciated. Thanks for looking.
MYSTERY SOLVED: Thanks to martika, and kyratango, the big disc was identified as horn, the second smaller disc as banded carnelian agate. Thanks, and to all of you, for looking and helping out! :)
Katherine, I think the smaller disc is an agate or carnelian stone. Carnelian is a red variety of chalcedony. It may be banded, in this case it can be classified as agate too.
Hi Kath, pretty colors!
I think biggest is horn, and Martika is right for banded carnelian for the other :-)
Very zen.

Thanks, martika, I had a sort of half a feeling it might be an agate, now I know where to look! :)
Thanks so much, kyratango, banded carnelian, what a good eye you have! :) What kind of horn is this color, do you have an opinion?
Karen, I don't know about Zen, lol! They are pretty, though! :)
Thanks for the love, NevadaBlades, and bratjdd. :)
Zen as in I could sit and look into them and be in the now. Natural materials help with that.
Kath, Martika said banded carnelian in first, I agreed with her id; Kudos go to Martika :-D
The amber color is awesome
Thanks for the love, Gruff, and for your awesome compliment. :)
kyratango, yes, thanks to martika, and to you for confirming her opinion. :)
