The green ones are approx 18mm. I have had both strands about 15 years.

The second strand is a mix of Tourmaline and bakelite??? carved to simulate coral.Any knowledge/speculation of origin and date?

What is the distinction between bakelite and phenolic resin?

makeup?
age?
origin?

all of the above?

Thank you in advance
