    I have a friend who grew up in Sudan.  She traded with the nomads
    there and accumulated a lot of what she calls amber.  I'm not sure
    about it being amber.  These are large beads about the size of a
    golf ball.  Some of the beads are white, others are red and some are
    a buttery yellow.  All of them are opaque and the colors are soft. 
    She asked me if I knew what they were and how much something like
    that would sell for.  They are very pure with no inclusions or
    cracks.  I know that at least one of you wise Orchidians can enlighten us.  
    Thanks in advance.  Christine
