Original Message:   Horn vs. Phenolic Resin (Bakelite)

The phenolic resin bead is the flattened oblate one. Coloring is pretty much an exact match in this case. When placed side-by-side you can notice some differences - the horn beads for example show the edges of the layers that form the body of the bead. I don't know exactly how horn is processed to make beads but you won't see evidence of layers on phenolic beads. Copyright 2024 All rights reserved by Bead Collector Network and its users
