[QUOTE="Ratsy Brown, post: 4184865, member: 5040"]Okay, I have done all the tests and I'm still stuck. The smell tests I always do badly with, I will try again with those tomorrow. Luckily I do have some genuine amber beads in my jewellery box, so I'm using those as my control group. Also, I think this may be a dog, not a cat? Positive with the static test, I was able to pick up tissue paper with the beads and the figure. Negative with the saltwater test. Followed AJ's measurements. Bead floats, figure doesn't. , Picture below I don't have acetone but I will pick some up tomorrow. Its lucky I don't own anything that produces a flame. I am frustrated and would have stuck a pin in it by now. [ATTACH=full]334323[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
