Guest guest Posted August 24, 2001 Report Share Posted August 24, 2001 How to tell if Amber is real? Begin from scratch - what is it made of? Tree sap. Does it smell sweet, what is its hardness, what is embedded in it in the way of living things? k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 24, 2001 Report Share Posted August 24, 2001 There are a several ways I know of to determine if amber is real. One is that it almost always glows under a long-wave black light. Secondly, it will float in a saturated solution of salt and water. The third way will damage the amber, but when heated, it will melt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
