Is this plastic or actual amber? How can I tell?

Amber will float in fresh water and sink in salt water. This necklace passed with flying color, and works amazingly on my son!

You can do a taste test which is what I did. Plastic will give a chemical gross taste amber will have a faint to no taste at all. I believe you can do a heat test too by putti g it in boiling water I believe plastic will melt and amber will not.

It is plastic, not actual Amber. It did not work for my daughter. I used Homeopothy drops for her teething and they worked. The brand is Camilia.

i tested it with the salt water test and static.... this necklace, the matching bracelet and the lemon necklace!

I don't know. I thought amber would be heavier, but maybe not. It looked super cute on my daughter, but not sure if it helped with pain.

It is authentic Baltic amber. Some people mistake it as fake because they expect it to look like a rock. Baltic amber is actually pine tree resin, which doesn't have the same look and weight as a rock. You can tell if it's real amber by looking at the resin and you should see specks of matter in the resin. This is a reputable company to go with. The amber is imported from Lithuania to the seller in Canada. Hope this helps!

The ones that came with my set were not plastic. I'm not sure of the metal makeup but I'm positive they were not plastic.

Yes, it turns a darker amber as it has oxidized (through normal opening of the bottle). It shouldn't affect its properties, but if you bought it "new", I would question the source. It should be an almost clear golden tone. Someone opened your bottle. Why?

The ones I got were metal, they look great, but I did hear some of them are plastic too... I would call them to make sure..

Looks very rich like wood, but isn't. Don't think it is plastic. In any case, it is beautiful and well done! I love itHope this helps youKaren

I don't think it's metal, but don't know exactly what abs is either. I think it is a hard, hard plastic...maybe that's abs. I'm happy to take some photos and send to you. They seem pretty well made and solid.

Terri, it is wood, but perhaps particle or pressed. It's painted so hard to tell but definitely not plastic. Hope this helps.

It is glass. If it is plastic, it's a very good imitation of it. It looks and feels like glass, but I can't give you an exact chemical composition of it to show it's actually glass.

I believe it is plastic with metal frame. In fairness I will say that it's pretty hard to tell - visually at least. They look nice, especially with light on.

Yes. It's actually plastic too. For some reason I thought it was metal. Fake flames didn't work either.

It is clear in that you can see through it, but the glass is tinted amber. I love it.

I'm sorry - I don't know. The bottles seem like standard, Amber, food grade bottles. Is there something I could observe that would determine the finish?

It might be resin but I think it's plastic. Surprised that the type it's made out of isn't listed on here.

Pretty sure it's plastic but I no longer have the car so couldn't verify for sure.

Yes, I'd say it is plastic, but now that we've owned it for over a month (and use it every night) we're not concerned about that. The lamp is beautiful and unless my wife and I are specifically asked, then we do not raise that detail when visitors compliment its looks (we've had several). The price of the real deal (stained glass) is more than we care to spend on lamps, but since the look and functionality of our "imitation" Tiffany stained-glass floor lamp has been so good - we ordered the matching dragonfly coffee table lamp a couple of weeks ago and WOW! our living room has really been "lifted" to a new level of "ambiance." We are 100% pleased with both purchases and highly recommend them (they're actually both good deals for the price, but if you want the real thing - they too are available for several hundreds of dollars more apiece). Remember...Amazon has one of the best return policies out there in case you are not pleased with your purchase (I've ordered hundreds of items through Amazon and returned perhaps 2-3 items without any hassles).

I had same concern. Order said amber but the part they shipped to me was "gray" which matched the original and was exact replacement.

It is plastic but a very stong acrylic. Mine has never leaked or cracked and it is very clear.
