<p>[QUOTE="Nick H, post: 9735685, member: 85273"]Thanks everyone for your replies! Yes, the necklance in Finncloud's link looks very similar to mine, apart from the silver ornamentation at the end. I'm guessing it is real amber as almost all of the beads have some black inclusions in them. I counted the beads, there are indeed three groups of 33 beads (apart from the main stone), with thinner amber discs and small metal beads dividing them. So does that confirm that this is a tasbih, rather than a mala? I'm not sure what metal the ball and tails are made from. The smaller stones in the loose hoop below main stone are more magenta than red, perhaps a type of stone rather than amber. Here are some close-up photos.
