*Amber is a natural polymer made over many millions of years fromthe resin of prehistoric pine trees. It is unique and beautiful and can bequite expensive when the pieces are exquisite, or contain rare organicinclusions – insects or plants, which are extinct for a long, long time.

*How to recognize genuine amber? How to be sure that your piece ofthe “Gold of the North” is authentic and not just a plastic fake? Althoughthere are various tests to help recognize true amber, it is generally not sotrivial, especially with the modern methods of “enhancement” of amber.

*The difference between glass and amber is relatively easy torecognize – glass is heavier, colder and harder than amber. On the other side,copal is softer, easier to scratch and it melts at lower temperature.

There are several systematic methods to differentiate true amberfrom the imitations, each of them based on certain specific property of amber:

1.Floating test.

Specific gravity of amber is only slightly higher than that ofwater (1.05 - 1.1 g/cm3), which means that it cannot float in fresh water, butdoes not sink in saturated salty water. The flotation test can be done only onunmounted pieces of amber, without any metal. The salty solution is preparedfrom about 1 part of salt by weight to 2 parts of water (or when there is stillsome salt on the bottom after mixing of the solution and after settling for awhile). Put your amber piece into the solution and watch it floating. After thefloating test, amber should be thoroughly rinsed in clean water and dried.

This floating test trial eliminates glass, heavy phenolic resinsand celluloid as amber imitations. However, copal would not be clearlydifferentiated by this test.

2.Smell

Vigorous rubbing (on cloth or even on your palm) until the pieceof amber gets slightly warm, may cause it to emit weak resinous fragrance (ofpine or turpentine) but copal may even begin to soften and the surface maybecome sticky. A smell of plastic or synthetic chemical indicates fake amber.

3.Hot pin test

This is a commonly advised test for amber. The tip of a needle isheated with a lighter or a match. A clever way to protect your fingers whenholding the needle is to stick the other end into a piece of cork, carrot etc.– thus forming an ad hoc handle. When the needle becomes red-hot, poke thespecimen. In the case of true amber, the needle does not go in too easily and anice resinous smell is is Amber:
Amberis a petrified tar of trees which grew over twenty-thirty million years agoandnow are buried on the bottom of the sea. The findings of thearchaeological excavations show that amber was used to make jewelry already 4thousand years ago. Baltic amber was decorating the crown of Egyptian pharaohTutankhamen. Gomer in his Odyssey also mentioned amber. There are about onehundred sorts of amber. Sometimes one can find insects in small pieces of tarwhich are as old as amber itself. In the first centuries A.D. Amber is oftenused as a mascot; it inspires optimism, attracts friends and helps in loveaffairs. Amber is also believed to posses different curative qualities. Alreadyin old days amber grind to powder was used as a biogenic stimulator improving immunity.White amber is considered to be the most curative. As for the signs of Zodiac,amber is recommended to people born from 21 January till 31 January and from 23July till 12 of the Baltic \"gem\" which beauty and unusual therapeuticproperties won great glory and fame since the olden times. The amber isshrouded in legends and folk narrative ballads. The Baltic seaside, in thenearby Yntarny Settlement, of the Kaliningrad Region, is the location of theworld\'s largest amber deposit; this area contains over 90 percent of the worldsknown reserves. Articles, which combined amazing natural properties of amberwith the artist\'s flight of fancy, are widely known all over the world. Theenterprise produces over 600 types of jewelry articles in silver, brass andGerman silver settings. Amber beads and necklaces, rings and earrings,bracelets end pendants, cigarette- or cigar-holders and souvenirs invariablygladden human hearts and eyes by the warmth of its sunny colors.

As any material that is highly treasured, amber had been subjectto many stories and even more counterfeit. That is why my prime concern is toprovide to my customers as much information as possible for them to be surethat they are buying a real Baltic Amber of high quality. During the Soviet erathe most common metal to accompany amber in brooches, pins and tie clips wascupronickel (unmarked), followed by silver and gold with their distinctivemarks.
