Product Information

On tasting, notes of oak, lemon, melon are prominent, accompanied by flavours of classic scone and almond with green tea, before giving way to a rich and sweet long finish.” The second edition of The Macallan’s Harmony Collection celebrated the world of coffee, while the debut focused on chocolate. Careful raking can reveal small, rounded nodules of yellow to brown material. Getting them wet usually reveals their character, and a heated needle or knife tip can help you identify them.

Digging for amber is relatively straightforward and it’s easy to identify in the field. The question is mostly just a matter of finding the right clay fields and getting permission to go digging if they’re not on public land. The 100% natural summer evening colour derived from our exceptional Sherry-seasoned oak and Bourbon casks reflects the richness of the flavour which awaits. The places amber can be found are numerous overseas. If you’re in South America for a vacation, then you’ll be pleased to know that Dominican Amber regularly washes up on the beach of the Dominican Republic, making it a prime spot for collecting. Among the first significant acquisitions by the Museum, made during the early 20th century, were insects in Late Eocene paper shales from Florissant, Colorado (still stored in the Division of Paleontology), those in Eocene Baltic amber (with some of W. M. Wheeler's ant types), and a large amount of copal (subfossil resin) from Zanzibar that contains myriad insect inclusions.

Buying amber online is a little bit sketchy at times, but most fakes are very obvious to someone who knows what to look for. Electrostatic Test- Rub your piece of suspected amber in a cloth for 30-60 seconds, then hold it near your hair. Real amber will generate static after being rubbed and attract light objects like dust and hair. Let’s dive into the what, how, and where of amber. It might just be the start of an amazing new journey. What is Amber? Amber is usually a warm orange color, but a blue variety also exists. Some ambers are also much deeper in color. A lot of them are easily identifiable. If you see something with a large scorpion, lizard, or tarantula in it that doesn’t cost as much as a car… well, it’s probably just a resin piece. They’re relatively common, especially online.

There are deposits around the world, but the bulk of amber found on the market comes from the Dominican Republic and the Baltic deposits. Who doesn’t want some bling binging? Well, if it is something so surreal and divine like amber, it definitely needs an indulgence. The mystical charisma of amber is not alien to anyone. Jewellery connoisseurs from across the world rave for this gorgeous gemstone and TJC presents to you some of the riveting amber jewellery that simply lifts your treasure trove collection to all new heights.The big exception to this is copal. Copal is comparatively common and is often sold as “young amber.” That’s precisely what it is, copal is only a few thousand years old, as opposed to the millions of years for amber. Later, the museum received a large collection of fossils from the Aptian-aged Crato (Santana) Formation of Brazil (mid-Cretaceous, ca. 110 Ma), containing some 3,000 terrestrial arthropods.The Crato insects are mineralized replicas preserved in limestone, and constitute one of the largest and most diverse deposits of Cretaceous insects. AMNH holds pre-eminent collections of Cretaceous amber, a total of some 10,000 pieces, from the Cretaceous of Lebanon (c. 125 Ma), Myanmar (c. 100 Ma), Alaska (95 Ma), New Jersey (c. 90 Ma), and Alabama (ca. 85 Ma). Salt Water- Real amber floats in saltwater. Try adding 5-7 tablespoons of salt to a cup of water and dropping the piece in.

Blue Amber-A striking amber found only in the Dominican Republic. These specimens are a deep blue color with fluorescence. They change color depending on the light and are highly sought after.Amber is an amazing example of the sheer variety of gems produced by the Earth. In this case, amber is fossilized tree sap that often brings with it glimpses into a world far away from ours. Each specimen is a bit of history and collectors have a lot to learn.
