Anything that looks recent is fake.</p><p>It is simply a Turkish/Middle Eastern kind of faux amber, but there is a big faturan hype.</p><p>If I remember correctly it was developed by a Lebanese chemist, and first used for furniture knobs and handles. Later it was used for tesbih or komboloi (worry beads), as a cheap alternative to amber. It also ended up in necklaces.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
