    Any chance these larger beads are egg yolk amber?

    Not amber.
    I'm struggling to remember what they are called.

    They are like a reconstituted amber - starts with the letter "C"

    Bone, random rock, nickel and probably plastic beads from India. Age...good question - anything from 1980 on up. The amber could be one of the reconstituted products, but could just as easily be pure faux.

    I think perhaps yellow resin from Nepal?

    Copal is what I couldn't remember this morning.

    Can you find a seam on it? If so, plastic.

    Figures. They wouldn't use anything good on what's primarily a costume piece.
