This may have already been discussed; if so forgive me. I'd like to learn a little more about using UV light to distinguish amber from copal or phenolic. I have some necklaces that I don't want to deconstruct for a float test, and I don't trust my nose enough to rely on the hot pin test alone. I'm truly concerned about representing these beads accurately and feel paralyzed with doubt. Thanks all! AnnieB Copyright 2024
