I had read that amber fluoresces under black light. So I grabbed my pieces that I thought were amber and headed to the closet with my light. Almost all of my honey amber necklaces turned this greenish color. However, my two pendants that I thought might be egg yolk amber did not have this color at all. I added my honey amber necklace in the photo for color comparison.</p><p>My question is are the yellow pendants real amber? The only markings are 925 on both.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
