Could this be Faturan Bakelite?
It’s 30 inches long, doesn’t have a clasp and is very heavy at 156 grams. It tested positive with Simichrome polish, strangely has one bead marked (see second to last pic), is swirled in color, and mildly glows under UV light. At first I thought it was Bakelite due to weight and testing positive with Simichrome but it’s beaded with a twine like thread. It’s definitely not glass. Could it be Faturan?

Bakelite Color Identification Chart needed
I’m selling off a HUGE Bakelite buyout I did and am looking for a color chart so I know what to call each color as I sell them. People were asking for items off my table by color and I want to look smarter next time! Here’s a picture of one bucket of items I purchased (there are two more like it if you can believe it) plus pictures of the 3 highest selling items from last night including a Jonne by House of Schrager carved necklace set with original tag. And if you’re one of my buyers, thanks for shopping with me!! @fargosuzie
