Looks like a special and expensive type of Moroccan koummya to me.

Hi,
Nice, I'd bet when tested properly it will be the real ancient Amber. Best to have a jeweler test it. "Young" Amber is resin and when rubbed hard will smell piney
True amber will withstand a drop of nail polish remover left on it's surface for a minute or so, the resin will soften and smear. Photo of one I found. see http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/showth...733#post180733
