You certainly had a good week!
Love the malachite! Good haul :)
Such a good catch! Love the icicle charm from the Ice Hotel! But that no-bakelite necklace still takes the biscuit! :-)
Great finns! Are you sure the necklace is not bakelite? I could have sworn it is. I have a necklace that looks very similar and it tests positive for bakelite on the beads but not the beadclasp which is of another type of plastic. This is also a color you often find in older bakelite from europe. I hope you will find out yours is bakelite, but if not you still have a very nice necklace that by the looks of the photos is old and not new "fakelite". It's beautiful!
I wrote find not "finns", the mobile is doing that....:)
Here's my necklace with the same clasp

Thanks Elisabethan. Your necklace looks a lot like mine. Not the shape of the beads but the color.
I cleaned the necklace and tested with simichrome on the beads. No reaction.
