Butterscotch amber beads?

Reconstituted amber.
Could be yesterday, could be 1980s.

Wait for more knowledgeable replies

I'm taking back the reconstituted. I do believe it has been melted and made into beads, but not sure what that is called. I thought it was reconstituted.

 

How big? Looks like worry beads.

It is a Tasbeh/Tesbih, Islamic rosary/worry beads. Could we see closeups of the beads?

Reconstructed amber? Many amber beads are. The Polish have come with a new, more correct classification for the different modifications, I'll look it up.

Edit:
This is the Polish site I was looking for (in English):

@clutteredcloset49 I just edited my last post, with a link to the Polish site.

Just looked at your link. Interesting. Have bookmarked it. Thank you.

Maybe these aren't amber, but copal.

 

They could be copal, we need more detailed photos.

 

They look too new and sort of mass made to be proper butterscotch. The best test is UV. Get a UV light on them, see if you get a nice fluorescent blue veil. If you do, you've scored. If not, a lot of these are coming out of Tibet.

 

Thanks for the help! Here's a close up.

 

Not amber, I'd say.

 

I agree. But it is still a good idea to test with UV light, as obb said before.

 

Those are molded rather than cut, but they could be a reconstituted whatsit. Even if they're pure plastic, someone will like them.
