    Hello

    Please have a look at these pale yellow beads.

    I have tested for bakelite but got nothing. Beads are quite large and heavy, between 15mm and 32mm, total weight 192 grams. Not sure what else they might be made of? Cord looks quite old.

    Thanks

    Do they feel warm or cold? What happens with a UV light?

    Somewhat green under a UV light, warm to touch.
