Heat Test- Amber will have a piney smell when burnt. A red hot needle works, but it’s also a destructive test that you may want to skip.

Amber is a petrified form of tree resin. Essentially, immense heat and pressure drive the aromatic components and moisture out of the resin, which eventually forms a macromoleuclar structure. Let’s dive into the what, how, and where of amber. It might just be the start of an amazing new journey. What is Amber? Let the very rare Baltic Amber mount on your ring in gold and sterling silver overlay. This is the beauty of Amber that its distinctive hues complement nicely with the gold and sterling silver overlay. On top of that, a statement ring is something that every woman needs to march in like a boss. Amber Pendants Among the first significant acquisitions by the Museum, made during the early 20th century, were insects in Late Eocene paper shales from Florissant, Colorado (still stored in the Division of Paleontology), those in Eocene Baltic amber (with some of W. M. Wheeler's ant types), and a large amount of copal (subfossil resin) from Zanzibar that contains myriad insect inclusions. Blue Amber-A striking amber found only in the Dominican Republic. These specimens are a deep blue color with fluorescence. They change color depending on the light and are highly sought after.

Glamorise Your Wrist

Since amber co-occurs with lignite, you’ll want to dig down to that layer for significant specimens. There are deposits around the world, but the bulk of amber found on the market comes from the Dominican Republic and the Baltic deposits. Amber stone is a fossilised resin that varies from a pale yellow to a dark orange colour.

Electrostatic Test- Rub your piece of suspected amber in a cloth for 30-60 seconds, then hold it near your hair. Real amber will generate static after being rubbed and attract light objects like dust and hair. A lot of them are easily identifiable. If you see something with a large scorpion, lizard, or tarantula in it that doesn’t cost as much as a car… well, it’s probably just a resin piece. They’re relatively common, especially online.Later, the museum received a large collection of fossils from the Aptian-aged Crato (Santana) Formation of Brazil (mid-Cretaceous, ca. 110 Ma), containing some 3,000 terrestrial arthropods.The Crato insects are mineralized replicas preserved in limestone, and constitute one of the largest and most diverse deposits of Cretaceous insects. AMNH holds pre-eminent collections of Cretaceous amber, a total of some 10,000 pieces, from the Cretaceous of Lebanon (c. 125 Ma), Myanmar (c. 100 Ma), Alaska (95 Ma), New Jersey (c. 90 Ma), and Alabama (ca. 85 Ma). The chemical difference from amber is simple. Copal isn’t polymerized, so it doesn’t quite make the cut for amber although it has the potential to become amber with a few million years. Bremner said: “There is so much to discover with The Macallan Harmony Collection Amber Meadow. It is a single malt redolent of warm meadows and mature barley fields, with a rich, citrus-scented finish. Careful raking can reveal small, rounded nodules of yellow to brown material. Getting them wet usually reveals their character, and a heated needle or knife tip can help you identify them.

The big exception to this is copal. Copal is comparatively common and is often sold as “young amber.” That’s precisely what it is, copal is only a few thousand years old, as opposed to the millions of years for amber. Dominican Amber- Dominican amber tends to be lighter in color than the Baltic stuff, and it usually occurs with high clarity. Specimens that are just barely tinted yellow or orange are common, and insect inclusions are very common. It imparts a rich history with Baltic amber as old as 400 million years and making quite a wave off-late as such a stunner in the jewellery industry. Baltic region is home to the largest deposit of Amber as known to mankind. No wonder, it is entrancing the world for dressing such a rich and rare beauty and what better than grabbing it an affordable price from TJC.
