[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 10233640, member: 2844"]When you say cold, do you mean as cold as glass? Did you test for Bakelite? Faturan is a mix of Bakelite and natural (fossil) resins like amber or incense, depending on where it was made and who made it. Every manufacturer had his own recipe. They stopped making it in 1940, when the supply of Bakelite dried out. A lot of Faturan was made in Turkey, where they are now mass-producing fake Faturan, mainly for tesbih. So this is where the red flag comes out.:nailbiting:;)[/QUOTE]
