Identifying red stone in turquoise heishi bead necklace

[mindymaerenee]

I would greatly appreciate any help in determining the name of the red stone as well as knowing the origin of this necklace. What category to list under? The clasp is missing which is why is is curled up the way it is. Thank you so much for any help you can provide.

May be some type of dyed coral. Please wait for others to weigh in.

Jasper?

It doesn't exactly look right for dyed coral.  It could be dyed Riverstone.  It does look like dyed stone because of the uneveness of the color.  When I'm in doubt I usually go to the Fire Mountain Gems website, click on gemstone beads and then choose the color and search through what they have, LOL.  They don't have everything, but they have the most popular stones.

The solid lines running though porous material is similar to Apple Coral but not exactly.

I tried looking at fire mountain gems. in this particular case. This is why I don't like listing gemstone jewelry because some of it takes me forever to figure out what the stones are. I have learned a lot over a couple of years I have been listing, but it appears that it some cases unless someone can actually see & touch it perhaps there is not going to be a definitive answer. I do appreciate everyones feedback.

My original thought was that it was red jasper...

I am definitely seeing porous areas which indicates a once living something not a geological specimen.

This is what I am seeing that looks porous.

You have much better eyes than I do old crow.  That enlargement looks like modern dyed coral.  I have lots of that in blue so I recognize the pattern.

Thank you so much. Dyed red coral is what I will say it is in my listing.
