<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mirana, post: 9967263, member: 79705&quot;]Aaaah okay. The page you linked is the one I saw the reconstituted amber &quot;cells&quot; example on and that&#039;s where I got confused. This looked sorta like the close-up of the crackle I posted above and I wasn&#039;t sure if what was on mine was this &quot;cell&quot; thing, or actual (age?) cracks, which I&#039;ve seen on some of the simetite amber examples.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]500386[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>The swirls I know can show up in other resins/plastics so I didn&#039;t even think it was amber when I bought it. Then I found a bunch of natural simetite amber examples that have swirl patterns (plus crackle and surface pitting)...<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie25" alt=":bookworm:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> It really surprised me!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]500392[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]500393[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you for taking a look and helping me out further. I try to do a bunch of research before I bother y&#039;all but there&#039;s no replacement for experience at a certain point! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/biggrin.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":D" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>See photo above on the right for simetite amber fluorescence colors. I thought they were pretty close to the cameo. I had no idea there was such variety before this![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
