[QUOTE="IvaPan, post: 9424149, member: 78949"]Thanks, Any! I mean that the link I gave refers to a resin item, not genuine copal, which is not shown in the title, but can be read in the description. I saw it after posting "This is a nice old strand of Faux Amber Berber Saffron RESIN Beads." To me the thing I bought does not look covered with lacquer (varnished) but just polished. I have a resin brooch (faux amber) that has some glow in UV (even posted it here) but the colour and appearance of glow is different from this one. I had one real amber necklace and this one next to each other and they seem to glow in the same way, same intensity, same color. But let's say it is indeed varnished and glows because of it, then the question remains what is beneath the varnish. A, I forgot, the separation beads are made of satin glass. Can it be some indication to where the necklace came from? Or it can just be from anywhere, as satin glass was exported by the Czechs.[/QUOTE]
