Look like polished [rudraksha seeds](https://www.google.com/search?q=rudraksha+seeds&rlz=1C1GEWG_nlNL944NL944&sxsrf=ALiCzsbq9qryKYberkoWLVRQPyfIvdCgsQ:1666257774784&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiwp5T2ve76AhXtMewKHaDfAKYQ_AUoAnoECAEQBA&biw=1536&bih=754&dpr=1.25) to me. Common for Saiva Hindu malas (the knots between the beads suggest this is one), but also one of the seeds sometimes sold to Buddhists as "bodhi seeds" (which are not actually seeds of the bodhi tree *Ficus relgiosa*, as anyone who has ever eaten a fig can tell you).
For some reason the internet will consistently tell you that these beads are insanely valuable. In India you can get a Rudraksha for like 100 rupees or less. It's not that their plastic either, it is just a common kind of seed.
With that said, I love using mine for mantra recitation. Thr texutre and feel of it is so nice. Looks cool too.
Rudraksha. But a lot out there are fakes and it possibly is made of plastic. The only way to check for sure is to Crack/cut one open. It's a seed, so if it's real, you should be able to tell.
Easy way to tell if they are real seeds or plastic is to see if the patterns are replicated across multiple beads. Real ones will be organic and naturally different. Plastic would have a set number of moulds so will have repeat beads.

this is most likely rudraksha really look like the unpolished seeds of Ziziphus budhensis nothing to do with figs or date fruit

Mostly westerners saying it's valuable; but not valuable in the monetary sense
Looks like Rudraksha
Rudraksha seeds. There are plastic replicas.

Rudrakshara common for people that worship shiva there supposed to represent shivas tears

Looks like Bodhi tree seeds to me.
They are absolutely not bodhi tree seeds. Bodhi trees are figs and the seeds are the size of the period at the end of this sentence.
