Amber With A Natural Hole ?


Napoleon North

Recommended Posts

I found the piece between amber. I checked the floats in salt (but also) and fresh water. It has two oval depressions one of the one and one and half of the "third of a second. Told me that it could be natural hole. However, the holes are not through.

Help someone?

Hi Napolean North,

I'm not sure. Are you thinking it's part of a decorated bead of some kind?

I would do a hot needle test if it floats in normal tap water without salt, does not sound like the baltic amber I have experienced. If it does smell like tree resin it is amber, and then it could be something special.

Regards,
