Please help me identify necklace Amber or Lucite?
« on: October 27, 2014, 09:47:52 am »
I keep questioning myself on this.  It will pick up tissue pieces after being rubbed.  Looks to have some inclusions.  Keep doubting my opinions.  Any help would be great.

Maybe it is just your picture, but doesn't look like amber to me.

However both Amber and Acrylic can develop static electricity!

I know that plastic can too.  It doesn't burn like plastic does when you put a hot pin on it.  I'm wondering if it may be copal after doing more research.  I know it isn't bakelite because no horrible smell.
