Gemstone identification

I'm wondering if someone is familiar with these beads. I picked them up over 30 years ago at a rummage sale in upstate NY. I know they are coral, but Nothing other than that. Age...value...perhaps? They are 3 mm in diameter. Thank you.

I think if you look up sliced coral Heishi beads you will find your value.  We don't generally give out values here on the board because they are so subjective.  As for age ... they could be 100 years old or done the day you bought them 30 years ago.  They are still being produced today.

Thank you for your reply.  I appreciate the feedback.  These have been sitting in my jewelry chest for years and have always wondered.
