Never heard of 'Faturan'. Any idea where that comes from? Does it have a specific meaning?

And Toby, your great necklace would be called Marseillais in Morocco. It is not as highly priced as the real amber, but it is much appreciated . I have no idea how much they ask there right now, but as Rosanna rightly suggested, check out the sold listings on ebay, that surely will give you a good idea.
