Amber is a beautiful stone that is cut and polished and used as a valuable gemstone. It is very light in weight which allows it to be used in a large jewelry piece without discomfort. Amber, or fossil tree sap, has been known since antiquity.
Some pieces fluoresce. The common fluorescent colors of amber are blue or yellow, and less frequently a green, orange, or white. In general, resins with higher sulfur content fluoresce more than those containing less sulfur.
The translucency is extraordinary! THANK YOU FOR LOOKING, GREAT GIFT, COLLECTORS ITEM, ONE OF A KIND.
