Vintage Yellow Amber Bakelite Catalin Raw Block — 695 grams

A beautifully preserved piece of vintage Bakelite Catalin in its raw, uncut form. This block glows with the warm golden-amber tone that serious collectors immediately recognize — a color born not from dye alone, but from decades of natural oxidation transforming the original pale cast into deep, luminous honey.

• Weight: 695 grams
  Dimensions: 18.8 × 7 × 4.3 cm
  Color: Yellow Amber / Honey Gold
  Material: Genuine Catalin Bakelite — cast phenol-formaldehyde resin, no fillers

What sets this block apart is its substantial size and weight for its compact form — dense, solid, and satisfying in the hand in the way only genuine old Catalin can be. The raw surface retains its original character, with the kind of natural aging that confirms authenticity far better than any polish ever could. Cut, drill, or turn it on a lathe — the interior color will be consistent and deep throughout.

Perfect for:
Prayer beads — tesbih, misbaha, tasbih, subhah
Jewelry — bangles, rings, pendants, carved pieces
Beads, buttons, and custom turned parts
Display and collectors seeking genuine raw Catalin stock

Passes the hot water test — authentic Catalin formaldehyde scent confirmed. This is not a reproduction, not new-cast resin, and not cherry amber. It is the real thing.
