[QUOTE="Lucille.b, post: 3058783, member: 51"]So a strong ..."maybe"? Thoughts about this aside from the black light. Probably is 50 years older or better, would think 1970s at the latest. It seems like in that time frame if someone was going to use a material to copy amber they wouldn't put that big gouge in the top of the main stone. That seems more like something that was a natural inclusion. Now reading up can learned something about a wool test --could try that, too. Temperature on this is warm, nothing like glass. But maybe that would be true for reconstituted as well. Keep the thoughts coming. This is new for me. Thanks![/QUOTE]
