Any help in identifying these pieces would be appreciated: Jade? Amber?

I have three strands of the orange beads and one of the red beads with a 14K yellow gold clasp.I do see some critters in some of the beads so I think Amber perhaps? Red ones, I have no idea. The green double strand necklace has knots between the beads, like pearls do. The bangle has a man on a horse and I think a dragon. Silver color metal mounted on a round green colored bangle. Still going through Grandmothers pieces and these are NOT my thing .They are headed to my granddaughters dress up jewelry box, unless valuable.

No way to say for sure from these photos

I agree that if you see fossils, then amber it likely is. No way for me to say if it's real or fake, etc.

Other "set" looks like jade but no way to know if it's impregnated. The fact that the beads are so yellow makes me think it is or that they were owned by a heavy smoker. The metal work looks like base and not precious metal which points away from a high quality/valuable piece.

Thank you for the input.She had a ton of items from the 20's and I was told the green beads and orange and red strands were from that time frame. Smoking could be a possibility back then. I will try and clean them and see if the yellow comes off.
