Collectible Worry Beads AN0051

Mastic or Sudurus or misketa is a mixture of old-cut amber (1920-1940) and other materials, such as bakelite, rosin, and turpentine, made in Persia. It is quite impact-resistant compared to amber and considerably heavier. Even though it is not pure amber, it has a similar value due to the age and rarity of the original material.
