I'm not claiming to know anything but that looks like a fossil to me.

Crinoid stems they were sometimes used as beads alot of them have natural holes in them.

Picks right, those are pieces of Crinoid Stems. I have a bunch of those and even have a few I have found on sites that were used as Beads.
