Faturan, in Middle Eastern beadwork, is a material used to make beads, notably in the making of komboloi and misbaha.
The creation of "Faturan" is thought to have originated by a chemist. He was melting down the filings left after carving beads from amber and mixed these remnants with other natural resins, such as mastika, frankincense, colophony, and turpentine, to mold individual beads from natural substances. Unfortunately, his original formula has long since been lost.
