Original Message: Most likely all Phenolic Resin, Steve.

If you were to put a HOT needle, or as I do it (don't try this at home) run a lighter over the bead and you get a smell which is chemical like, almost like burning insulation, these are man made, phenolic resin beads.
With that said, I have collected these types of "amber" beads for 30 years and still enjoy them.
