Put it under a blacklight with the other one and a couple of known amber pieces to compare. I'm still thinking no to amber, what do you think? Maybe some sort of plastic for the two of them? They don't test for bakelite. The both have a couple of beads with inclusions/marks on them. New off the boat?</p><p>Are these considered prayer beads?
