Guest guest Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 I would be careful on trying to buff amber. It isn't a stone. It's petrified tree sap and if you get it too warm, it may disfigure and fall out.

Guest guest Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 Thanks Rick...Yes, I know that it is petrified sap.... I am thinking that there must be a certain process though. My piece is quite beautiful with several pine seed fossils throughout... Thanks for your advice. si`la Traci and Richard <tracispoopy wrote: I would be careful on trying to buff amber.

Guest guest Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 Here is a link explaining the differences between Amber and Copal which is frequently mistaken for and sold as Amber. Copal is typically used as incense and is very similar to Amber. http://www.emporia.edu/earthsci/amber/copal.htm - renaumoon Friday, May 02, 2008 9:36 PM Re: [CrystalHW] Re: Amber In a message dated 5/2/2008 8:42:05 PM Eastern Daylight Time, silalasangre writes: really..?

Guest guest Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 Aloha. . .Link did not come through, perhaps it was considered non-text. I always send a copy of what I'm sending to myself to make sure. Still wondering about a link that Mikael mentioned that did not some through. Hope this is helpful.
