[QUOTE="quirkygirl, post: 168538, member: 106"]I agree that this can be an 'iffy' test as I once charged up a piece of amber ... followed by a plastic comb ... and then a plastic tube of lipstick ... and all three moved the tissue paper equally. Do you have a UV light? Amber will show a hazy glow on its surface when placed under a 'black light'. Forgot to add that in your close-up shot, it [I]does[/I] look like old amber to me with those crackles on the surface.[/QUOTE]
