Original Message:   Yes, this is what I was taught
Jamey, I'm glad to read your message. I was taught by a dealer in Berlin that most raw amber is opaque, due to gasseous inclusions. The submerge the amber in hot water to soften it and drive off the gas. Then, when it hardens, it is transparent. Nancy Copyright 2024 All rights reserved by Bead Collector Network and its users
