[QUOTE="kardinalisimo, post: 93222, member: 118"]Amber or not? Few other questions. Can someone explain which amber is expensive and which one is not? I see some pieces selling for thousand of dollars and then other described as "genuine" for dirty cheap. Does it depend on the quality of the beads, color, region ( where else besides Baltic sea), size etc.. I know the authentic one with the insects are quite expensive. I guess age is difficult to determine. A lot of sellers describe pieces as "antique amber ......". Can amber be not antique? To be amber, the tree sap has to be 50 million years old anyway. And how do you tell amber from the younger copal?
