<p>[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 491605, member: 5833"]With the charcoal streak, if the beads are not all identical in size & shape, I vote jet. Vulcanite & similar do not take a high polish & tend to turn brownish over time. Polished jet is so shiny & light in weight, it can seem like plastic. The lone bead sounds like glass. Pearls with the jet also look like glass. Hey, Cuz, howya doin'?</p><p><br /></p><p>Luna looks like a luv.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
