[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9538500, member: 2844"]Yes, it is amber. Pressed Baltic amber, and a mix of colours, including butterscotch. Please stay away from hot needles. There are other, more conclusive, ways of testing without doing damage. UV light is one, the salt water float test is usually the go-to test for amber. You can also rub a bead vigorously and smell it. If it smells of pine, it is amber. [ATTACH=full]453259[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
