Original Message:   amber CONFUSION REIGNS
I have been reading this discussion on amber and the more I read the more confused i am. Let me recapitulate how I interpret your postings

a) amber comes from Mali b) amber comes from Morocco BUT c) all amber is Baltic except d) obvious phenolic resin which is early plastic

So here is my question: why Morrocan amber, Fulani amber,Mauretania, Yemen, etc.? This would mean that the amber is not denominated by its origin but by whoever wore it, right?

And seeing Patrick's posting, top necklace, is also amber, definitely Baltic but very much different to what Carl's beads look like. So what makes an amber bead a Fulani bead or Moroccon bead or just Baltic Amber?

There are amber beads on the Trade pages, which are repaired. Where are these from what are they and who repaired them?

Thanks all for your input
