How do I know if I have tonsil stones?

I am trying to figure out what these whitish lumpy deposits that I occasionally get in my throat are. I have been researching them and they sound like tonsil stones to me. Then someone told me they could also be calcium deposits. How would I know if they are tonsil stones or if they are calcium deposits?
Ok one fell out and I squished it. It sort of crumbled and was almost a little grainy feeling. Does that sound right?

If one falls out they should be squishy and if you smell it, it smells horrible. Mine started out being occasionally and then they just started coming one after another. I had tonsil stones for a year and nothing got rid of them so I went to the ENT and he recommended a tonsillectomy. The stones made my breath horrible and I was so self conscious so I had the surgery in December of 08 and have not had any since. The doctor/ENT is the only person that really knows for sure. Hope this helps!
