<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GemCity, post: 3441460, member: 18228&quot;]Hey Guys,</p><p>Can someone clear something up for me as I have been dealing in bakelite for a long time now and now amber has become popular I am hearing different things off different dealers and want to see what the general consensus is...</p><p><br /></p><p>So I have a few queries&nbsp; 1. &#039;Cherry amber&#039; is just bakelite - you don&#039;t get dyed amber.</p><p><br /></p><p>2. If amber is dyed or heated to manipulate appearance - how do I tell this? is this when the simichrome comes up dark read? - I have had this with bakelite before.</p><p>- I tend to use a UV light as floating tests etc aren&#039;t effective enough with all the fakes and I have never had a &#039;facetted&#039; (pressed) bead cherry amber necklace - it has always been prystal bakelite. </p><p><br /></p><p>Any other info would be great![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
