<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Any Jewelry, post: 614536, member: 2844&quot;]No, it doesn&#039;t. Faturan is Middle Eastern faux amber, also used in Turkey. It is a rather elusive faux type, information is rather misty. Some faturan is said to contain a bit of amber, and it is said to contain real frankincense. You are supposed to recognize it by the incense smell when warm. You can put your beads in a plastic bag in warm water to see if it smells of incense.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have similar beads which are neither amber nor faturan. I suspect mine are a Chinese type of faux amber. But similar is not necessarily the same.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
