The color of the stone depends on inclusions of different origin: minerals give a silver tint, algae - a greenish tone, air bubbles lighten the color. Blue amber is obtained from locust bean gum, it is very laborious to process, so such a ring is very expensive.
More often, stones from yellow to brown shades become the accent of the rings. Rarely can a stone even be silver.

- Amber friction becomes negatively charged and attracts small pieces of paper.
- The color of the natural stone is uniform; there are no multiple inclusions of air bubbles in it.
- When scratched, a real gem is crumbled by small fragments.
- When the UV lamp is on, a real gem luminesces with a bluish glow.
- You can drop a drop of acetone or alcohol on a stone: if it became sticky, then it was digging, but not amber.
- In addition, scratches from a copper needle will not be visible on the copal, but it is better to protect amber from it.
Care
