Troodon Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Hard to tell with your photo but you really need to test amber to see if it's real. Here is a post with several ideas on how to do it. The salt water test is very simple. http://www.thefossilforum.com/index.php?/topic/63301-is-my-amber-necklace-real/?hl=%2Breal+%2Bamber 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaleoRon Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 It is hard to tell from your photo but the white "fuzzy" areas look like inclusions that are fairly common in Colombian copal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
