[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9737285, member: 2844"]Faturan is different from Bakelite, and it can be several colours. It was generally made using bakelite, but they add 'stuff' to it. Every maker had their own mix, which could even include genuine amber. In Yemen they often added incense, so you can always recognize Yemeni Faturan by the lovely scent. Faturan colours are mostly in the yellow-orange-red range. There are many stories about the origin and nature of Faturan, and because I have several Faturan pieces myself, I have delved into the mystery that is Faturan (often the mystery that has been created around it). So after studying many sites and hearing podcasts about the subject, I've come to the conclusion that this site tells the true story: [URL]https://www.kombologia.com/the-truth-about-faturan/[/URL] The expensive ones are genuine Faturan, which is more rare and valuable than Bakelite.;)[/QUOTE]
