A Coupleouple of Different Items!!

Thanks MOS, and nice box as well!!!!!

 

You made that..?
Sweet !!!!!

 

Thank YOU!!! That site is quite an education!!!!!!!!

 

I think your Egyptian faces are part of something else, but that isn't much help. I also think they're older: the glass colour and quality suggests it to me.

 

I have always wondered about the static electricity rest for amber, it seems to me you rub any beads they will generate static electricity

 

Thank you....again!!!!!

 

Not all beads, but anything which is capable of generating and holding charge. So plastics, including natural ones. But not wood, or stone, or glass.

 

So I guess I am right in thinking the static electricity test is unless because plastic is just as capable of passing the test as amber. And a lot of faux amber is made of plastic.

 

It's not definitive, to say the least. Yes, the static test isn't much use. I like the UV one best. If you know what you're looking for, it's pretty conclusive. It won't differentiate between "natural" and reconstituted, but that last is fairly obvious.
