Hi Terry,
Two points of interest:
1) I don't suggest that any of your beads are African meerschaum. I think I would recognize this material/these beads even in a photograph. They are rather distinctive.
2) From the time that the Lankton Collection was turned-over to Bassem Elias, the identification, appraisal, and (largely) pricing were performed by me.
I cannot say I remember this piece. Of course, it's possible you acquired it prior to my involvement—in which case the ID tag would have been written by someone else.
In any event, I am reasonably certain I did not identify meerschaum beads as "amber."
I'd like to see additional (closer) photos, if you want to pursue an identification.
Be well. Jamey
