    This is extremely lightweight. Is bakelite heavier? Is there a bakelite that is coated? Could be resin. I have to flash a UV light on it tonight. Would all bakelite react to a simichrome test? Thanks. I had a similar piece years ago that I let go because I thought it was resin, still regret it. The beads do not look uniform to me.
