[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9558396, member: 2844"]Faturan is a type of phenolic acid based early plastic, just like Bakelite is. It was first developed in Germany by Fritz Traun. But it is more well-known in Turkey and the Middle East, where chemists made their own phenolic mixes, often with the addition of either Bakelite, amber, or incense. Which is why you are more likely to find faturan in Turkish or Middle Eastern items.[/QUOTE]
