What bead is this??? Vintage?

I purchased this necklace at an Estate Sale over the weekend. I have seen this type of bead before–but I do not know the name of this stone. Can someone help me out??

Thank you!!

I could be wrong, but I have a denim coral necklace given to me in the 80’s that looks just like yours.

IMHO it looks like blue dyed what I think is being referred to as “apple” coral due to the elongated voids I see.

Agree. White, Bamboo coral that has been dyed blue.

This is what I think it is as well, bamboo coral dyed blue–but it was quite a mystery for a while! Thank you everyone!!!

I’m giving this to my son for his 21st birthday–a fun vintage piece that isn’t too expensive if he doesn’t keep up with it.
