Hi Vijaya, you also have beads made out of Camel Bone and Yak Bones.
You have these gem stone beads also called as precious and semi precious beads like Jade, Coral, Sandstone and a lot more.
There are cheap quality plastic beads too available in the market that are mostly used for door hangings etc.
Now Quilled beads and Paper beads are the in thing.
