I would burn it. Heat a piece of iron to glowing red and touch it in an inconspicuous spot. Amber has a distinctly sweet smell. If it smells of plastic, or doesn’t burn at all, then you can generally rule out amber.
 

Interesting Piece! :dontknow:
 

Give it a vigorous rub on a carpet or woolly sweater, then put it near a tiny bit of paper. Amber will pick it up from the static charge.
