I must say I am a huge amber lover but have never seen beads like this before.
they really Rare item. They only mining few years.. This type amber more old from baltic amber. 135 M.Y old maybe you can be sure they RRR+++ I dont think anyone have this type necklace.. I see before only few bead but I do not see huge one
I`m like Marie-Ange - amber is my favourite stone, if one can call it that. Are they yours, tayfun? They are an amazing colour. It`s true that the Chinese did have amber and, as you say not for long but most of what one sees these days called Chinese amber isn`t, of course. Real chinese amber is particularly valuable.
Do you have a measurement for them?
yes they mine 10mmx13mm 112 gr 64 bead don't be worry anyone don't see similar one bead.
if you know any one expert you can ask this amber chinese or not. This chinese and also opaque one this most rare
