<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 460441, member: 36"]Some wanna-be amber beads turned up recently as a necklace fragment with no clasp. They tested positive for dirt, but negative for bakelite. They desperately want to be amber, but they don't fluoresce very well. Some are mixed opaque and translucent and some are just opaque. They feel heavier than I'd expect amber to feel. Copal? </p><p>[ATTACH=full]158551[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]158552[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
