[QUOTE="KSW, post: 741831, member: 8708"]Really sorry to do this again but what do you think these beads are made of?. As usual I bought them because they looked odd and I want to learn! Feel like plastic, have a few swirls that make me think man made plastic and some beads have ‘seams’ but......not all the beads have a seam and the seams are more like fault lines than manufactured seams. Also they look to be delaminating in places- I’ve taken a photo of one end where you can see it. Some sort of lacquer? Wonder if this is contributing to the odd greyish sheen. They do fluoresce under UV but not mega, just a gentle glow. Looking at the thread holes it suggests amber but the swirls etc are throwing me off. OH has just grumbled at me and said ‘ Oh for heavens sake just ask the forum again’ Help please :-) Thankyou [ATTACH=full]189122[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]189123[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]189124[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]189125[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]189126[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]189127[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]189128[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]189129[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]189130[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]189131[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
