<p>[QUOTE="reader, post: 2393629, member: 255"]Others may disagree but I’ve always considered true copal to be amber. It’s not a different resin. It’s the same resin as amber only not of the same age. Copal that stays buried becomes amber. It takes thousands of years for resin to become copal and millions to become amber. Someone please correct me if I’m giving false info.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
