<p>[QUOTE=&quot;IvaPan, post: 5826322, member: 78949&quot;]Hi folks,</p><p><font size="4">Sometime ago I posted a thread about an amber pendant I believed and knowledgable people here also suggested that it was real Baltic amber. Promised to post results when a UV test is done to it.</font></p><p><font size="4">Today I found a beaded necklace that also looked to me as real amber so I bought it and did the UV test. But as I am not sure if I can read correctly the test results, I decided to apply a more radical test. Fortunately a small chip fell while I was washing the necklace so I took it and set it on fire with a lighter. In some moments it caught fire and burnt with beautiful yellow flame and after putting the fire out, emitted a strong pine tree or incense odour. I repeated it in front of my husband and he confirmed the odour. So I am now ultimately sure that at least the necklace is genuine Baltic amber <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie58" alt=":joyful:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> The pendant will have to go without the burning test, for obvious reasons <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie58" alt=":joyful:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie58" alt=":joyful:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie58" alt=":joyful:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></font></p><p><font size="4">Below I post the UV test images. Would appreciated any help in reading the results - do I correctly read them as showing real amber? </font></p><p>Thank you for watching!</p><p>[ATTACH=full]417079[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]417080[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]417081[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]417082[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
