    Tested negative for bakelite with simichrome. They are marbled, no seams, translucent in areas of the beads. Strung on thread, replaced clasp Thoughts? Thanks.

    I've seen it before, but darned if I ever knew what it was. Does it react to a blacklight?

    Composite maybe. If so, a blacklight might show it; some bits will glow and some won't.

    No...amber I have down. It's the man-made stuff that gives me trouble; bakelite, galalith, lucite, etc.

    Thank you for that good advice- I had no idea about a black light test!
