<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Joan, post: 4397517, member: 5398&quot;]I&#039;m looking for opinions on whether or not these beads are natural carnelian. The strand is 40&quot; and weighs 184 grams. I don&#039;t have a gem tester, but the beads feel cold when held against my face, and acetone doesn&#039;t remove the color. I bought them several years ago at an antique show, but I suspect they&#039;re not very old--maybe from India? Am I safe in calling them natural carnelian if I put them up for sale, or is there some other test I should do, or do I need to have them tested to make sure?</p><p>[ATTACH=full]371322[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
