Moroccan Amber Necklace. (Update - better photo).

Re the recent discussian of real/faux moroccan amber, I showed this necklace earlier and asked opinions as to whether members thought it was real or not.Not sure it`s definitive but Faouzi did a hot needle test on it earlier this year and pronounced it real. In fact he was somewhat desirous of owning it. And he does have a lot of experience.There was also another dealer who chased us through the souk who wanted to buy it!

Love it! This is a very powerful piece. Looks real to me.

Thanks, Toya. I do count myself pretty lucky to have it. Did you ever get to Morocco?

that was such a happy moment!It is indeed delicious and with the current wholesale offerings hitting 2000+ per g you can buy another brace of Bulgarian hideaways x

Lovely to have you back love parcel on the way will arrive tomorrow signed for service x

and I believe this is the moment just after the test x

big love S x

Aw, Pussycat - you`re wicked. Great beads, terrible face!

Think I might have to take an extra dose of Bulgarian spirit tonight - I`ll be too excited to sleep at the thought of the arrival of those beads.

Mmmm, maybe I WAS right not to swap this necklace for what F. was offering me!

Just weighed it (kitchen scales, I`m afraid). I make it 130 grams altogether. So, say 110 for the amber only. Crikey!
SARAH CORBETT October 29, 2013 at 6:13pm

110 g make that 4 bulgarian houses ...x

Y`know what, S. ? I`d rather sell a couple or three and buy more beautiful N. African amber!

Being chased for your amber, I think not, it was for you and your beauty.

Welcome back, you have been missed.

Oh-ho, Misses, very funny! It was the price I`d paid for the necklace he wanted to know not the price of me!

Feel like I`ve been welcomed back into a family. But without the concomitant hassle!

xxxxxx to my forbearing sharer! F.
