I can't say I've even seen any quite like these. The "really amber" beads offered by many African traders are somehow different. Those are usually worked into disc shaped pieces. These are free form. Maybe these are a collection of similarly shaped and colored beads of what might be real amber.

You'll have to dig out Jamey's list of tests and see if you can eliminate each of the fake materials. Let us know.
