This large oval amber bead is solid and opaque. It has natural pitting and some blemishes from its lifetime of being traded throughout Africa (see photos). This bead is already drilled.

It is not plastic, faux amber, bakelite, phenolic or copal – this bead is real authentic amber – it has been tested using multiple tests including UV light and saline tests.
