[QUOTE="KSW, post: 2032993, member: 8708"]I adore Amber but I've also come to the conclusion that sometimes I can't definitively prove to myself that it is Amber. I look at the overall qualities of the piece and whether this is glass (definitely not), Amber or some type of plastic doesn't really matter to me as I love it. It feels and weighs like it is Amber. I'm not ready to sell it yet (sorry AJ, I'll let you know if I am) and if I did I would disclose my uncertainty (Fortunately AJ knows I'm a true amateur!) My test was limited to a UV (which I'll take a photo of later) as I can't float it and I'm not sticking a pin in it:jawdrop:. As I've become *fractionally* less amateur, I've realised some bits of my 'Amber' aren't, and some bits of 'plastic' are!. That's a spectacular lump of Amber Kathy, I haven't got anything like that, just lots of beads and odds and ends.[/QUOTE]
