<p>[QUOTE="JunkshopJim, post: 4491536, member: 76964"]If you rub your thumb on it for a while or heat it a little you should get a pine smell if it is amber. There is also some kind of test you can do in water where you dissolve a certain amount of sugar or salt maybe in it. The floating or sinking of it should determine whether or not it is amber. Sorry it's a bit vague but I recently googled this myself.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
