Wow that's cool! Are there locations Florida to harvest amber or did it come from another location?

Magnificent ! What are the little dots next ? Coproliths ?

That looks really nice.

What do you use to polish the amber?

I asked the same thing and no reply. I guess it's a trade secret, Lol.

Hi Friends! I use a lapidary wheel to remove crust and do initial shaping. Then I sand wet by hand...800 grit all the way to 2000 grit. Then buff on a cotton wheel. :)
