Raw Amber Stones – Natural Baltic Resin Unpolished Loose Stone Crystal Ambar Piedra for Crafting Jewelry Making and Beads Polishing Mix Color - Amber Culture

Product Information

Amber is a crucial part of faith healing and spiritual belief in cultures around the world for centuries. The next most popular alteration is heat treatment. This is usually used to darken the color (recall golden amber is more valuable than yellow). Heat treatment is so common that it isn’t usually considered a faking process, but a way to increase the value. A specific gravity (SG) test can also help weed out the plastic imitations. You can concoct a handy homemade testing liquid by boiling water and adding as much salt as you can dissolve in it. This will have a density of about 1.13. Amber, with a SG of 1.08, will float in this solution. Most plastics will sink. However, a few plastics have a density as low as 1.05. Many can have a lower SG than amber if they have air bubbles inside. So, if your sample sinks, you can be sure it's not amber. If it floats, you still need to conduct more tests. Destructive Tests

Ogmios, the Celtic deity of eloquence, is said to have led his devoted followers around with chains of gold and Amber representing the spiritual connection that frees people, as opposed to material chains that imprison them.

Baltic amber, also called succinate, contains 3-8% succinic acid. It was formed about 44 million years ago and today it is found in forests in Lithuania, Russia and Poland, where it is mined and exported in large quantities. The origin is confirmed by the presence of a ‘Baltic Shoulder’ in the fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) spectra. Infra-red (IR) spectroscopy is the most effective scientific method for identifying fossil resins. What are the identification features of heated amber? TIP: Amber fakes are very diverse. Real amber is an organic gemstone, so there is another way to spot amber fakes. Find out more about fake ambers in the article below:

However, surprisingly, an area that can be even denser with amber is not the forest – it’s the beach. This is an entirely different category of amber, called sea amber, which has traveled from areas that were once forests, through the sea, to a coastline.

The light in Amber reminds us of the light within all of us and that sometimes we need to reconnect to that light and recharge. Your Amber may also become cloudy when it needs to be cleared of negative vibrations. The best way to recharge Amber is to place it in the earth overnight. You can bury it in your garden or in a pot on the windowsill to allow it to release all its negative energy and to recharge with clear vibrations. Amber As A Birthstone
