beads not amber - but what are they? by Richard Wright
I have a necklace supposedly bought in the 1930s. Photo at http://www.filepocket.com/users/51/Necklace1.jpg The photo captures the colour and texture reasonably well. The more orange parts are in fact just translucent, and the yellower parts opaque inclusions.
