[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 3481881, member: 2844"]Welcome [USER=18308]@ALEPIDIS EFTHIMIOS[/USER] . Stunning beads. Great size, and lovely sheen. I agree, it looks like dyed coral, but some natural coral can look like that. You can test it by holding a Q-tip soaked in acetone against the coral in an inconspicuous spot for ca 3 minutes. Don't rub, you get the best result if you gently push it against the coral. If the Q-tip turns red, the coral is dyed. If not, you have some beautiful red coral.[/QUOTE]
