[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9545174, member: 2844"]Very nice, Book. Ditto. The comb part could also be celluloid. Old celluloid can get those hairlines. Make sure the amber is in a dark place and against a dark background. (I usually hold it under my desk) Then shine the UV lamp on it. The amber should change colour, and often changes from translucent to opaque as well. In this case I would expect it to look opaque yellowish with a fuchsia hue in places. Possibly some purplish blue as well. Good luck!:)[/QUOTE]
