Hey Musse, how can we possibly help you?
You send a couple of shots of a glass sphere?, no other useful information, then suddenly it has multiplied.
You show said sphere in the company of other "junk" pieces, maybe in a souvenir shop.
I have a sense of humour, that is tickled by these types of trawls, but c'mon, exactly what are you after?
The best "gemological" minds in the world are here, it is not a place to play silly games.
I'm sure you already know they are probably glass.
Barry.

Musse when you post ridiculous claims like this, without any actual provenance, rest assured the validity of your post will be questioned.

I have available for sale a ~6 inches large one, it supposedly belonged to an old noble Italian family, for only 25k $.
It roughly looks like this

Yup, you can see the tell tell bubbles in that crap'ola with the un-aided eye. I am sure your great aunt of a royal line from some forgotten king and queen left this crapite as your royal inheritance but i am being brutally honest with you now as others have tried to be politely honest. IT IS JUNK! have a better day and please post when you have GEMSTONES with gemological information to back your claim. [-X
