<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 4491630, member: 36"]Not amber. I can see that from here. I'd take a damp q-tip, dunk it in baking soda, and rub on the inside of the bracelet. Hard. Hold next to your nose while you're doing it. If the q-tip turns yellow or brown and you smell formaldehyde, it's bakelite. Rotten milk is galaith. If you smell something plastic-y or nothing at all, it's some sort of acrylic.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
