This large amber bead is solid and opaque. The colouring throughout varies from golden to orange hues, very attractive. It has a crack which has been repaired at some point during 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.
