nice form and color combination. thank you a lot Anna
Very nice old amber, is it yours? Lovely!
Harald, I found this on ebay when Ait Ouakli taught me that Baltic amber came in larger pieces and in a rougher form than what I see in jewelry stores.

Most of these beads look rather like sea or river amber or maybe what`s sometimes called bog amber - i.e. amber with quite a lot of vegetal inclusions. So much nicer and more interesting than the usual boring modern melted and polished stuff, I think.
I like that name - bog amber. I agree with you. To me, the usual shiny Baltic amber nuggets are not nearly as interesting.
this amber is not kompletly polished, it is actualy found like this in the nature. if any member needs in this direction, there is in 20 days a big fair where i meet many dealers , i can buy for any one or make contact
the fair is : http://www.earlybird-messe.de/1/startseite/
