Featured See anything special in this amber?

The earrings were a whole $1.50, the pendant was $5, so I didn't get hurt. I am keeping both....the earrings are shiny, and the sheen travels with the light, similar to moonstone adularescence. I liked the cut of the pendant. Thanks for any input.






Maybe the earrings are copal?

 

Ditto. Natural shape yet facet cut. Could be Art Deco.

Not a feature of amber, that I know of, and they don't look like amber to me. Without having them in hand I would guess peach moonstone.
Amber is not the only stone that fluoresces, so some other things you could check.
Are they warm when you touch them?
The float test would work on stones with so little metal, so worth a try.

 

Very difficult for me to check if it could be Colombian copal, because all of the examples I found online have dead insects in them. Page after page of dead bodies makes me a bit queasy.
Also the examples I found are clear, which copal usually is. Have you found opaque examples that have adularescence?

 

The earrings are not stone, they are very lightweight.

 

When you rub them, do they or your fingers have a pine smell?

 

Opaque and that color is..weird .. for amber. I've never seen it before.

 

Yes....I am not smelling anything when I rub them. The ring that would slide on the necklace on the pendant has a tiny figural marking.

 

A Polish silver mark maybe?

 

The pendant is more likely to be German, Danish or Swedish than Polish. They all border the Baltic.
