<p>[QUOTE=&quot;IvaPan, post: 4767547, member: 78949&quot;]Thank you very much, Any, for the detailed explanation! Very much appreciated! </p><p>Now I have a hypothesis how it came here, probably through the many Indian shops that popped-up recently with little success and some of them already closed, and the items sold out at discount prices. Just a hypothesis. </p><p><br /></p><p>Salt water test, I heard (maybe wrong), can work also for lightweight plastic materials, like celluloid. Is it right? I tried it with a pendant I bought long ago from a shop (in the time of People&#039;s Republic) and it worked, didn&#039;t try with UV though. No swirls, only specks and pieces of material that look like organic. I also have a string of raw amber which also passed the salt water test, and several others that are definitely faux but are just beautiful <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />. Here one can find USSR amber (which means Baltic) but prices have soared recently. I will post&nbsp; pictures later, may be interesting.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Both methods (ice cube and salt water) have their scientific explanation though, so I enjoy applying them.
