[QUOTE="KSW, post: 832571, member: 8708"]I picked this out of a box of scrap by eye thinking it was amber but it isn’t.Looks like a soft toffee. No bubbles I can see. It’s cool to the touch but not ice cold and does warm up once in your hand. It chinks like glass or stone against teeth but feels slightly resin like. Doesn’t react to UV and sinks like the proverbial!. Really weird inclusions although I’m not sure if I’ve used the right description there. I can scratch it with a skewer but not a finger nail and chipped areas look just like amber so I’m very confused!. Daughter found this site - what do you think?!
