Jambiya, Amber hilt, Before & After a Little Restoration

Man, I'm not sure it's amber. The usual smell test is impossible. The whole thing smells like it spent the last 75 years sitting in my great grandmother's attic.

The needle did not melt it, so it isn't standard plastic. but it didn't crack or chip either. When you scrape it, it powders, which is consistent with amber. I'm going to burn one of the shards later and take a big whiff. Is it illegal to huff amber?
