[QUOTE="Lucille.b, post: 10262635, member: 51"]No marks. I'm not good at ID-ing stones, but had a friend who is a pretty serious rock collector over and I showed him this and he sort of shrugged, and said, "some kind of agate". But who knows if he even considered amber. Stone is a bit warm to the touch. I just think it is the most beautiful thing. My sense is that it is older because it just has some construction quality I associate with older, but I don't honestly know. I actually got it for myself (holding on to it for at least a bit -- when I REALLY like something I can't sell it for a while.) I'd use it to open letters, but honestly almost all letters anymore are bills! Would be more fun to open a personal letter with this. Not a bill.[/QUOTE]
