[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 5002716, member: 2844"]Natural coral imo. Mediterranean coral can have white spots and blotches, other types too. Lovely beads, gorgeous salmony colour. You can test them by putting some acetone on a q-tip and holding the cotton bud of the q-tip against the coral for ca 30 seconds. If the q-tip turns coral colour, it is dyed. It won't damage the coral. The amber beads look like they could be genuine amber. Have you bought a UV light yet? There are cheap UV flaslights on ebay and in regular shops as well. You can also rub them vigorously on your jeans or other clothing for a minute or so, and see if they are static.[/QUOTE]
