[QUOTE="IvaPan, post: 9424402, member: 78949"]Any, thank you for your support to my efforts! I really want to know and as it behaves like amber but I cannot find online anything like this, it drives me crazy. If it were amber, it would have been some trace of it, would't it?! I did the rubbing with one of the beads and with one of my raw amber chips, and they smell identical, I cannot say if it is pine needle (pine needles have much stronger smell, IMO) but definitely something pleasant although subtle. Well, what I did last time was to chop off a nugget of the necklace I was testing, and burn it, and see how it burns and what smell it emits. It burnt with high flame and smelled very strong of pines. I first tried the needle on the nugget but could not smell anything and thus decided to burn. Don't scold me too much :facepalm:[/QUOTE]
