Original Message:   White Amber

At the Electric Park show, one of my group was searching for white amber, and I pointed out this small booth where the owner had quite a lot of amber. But when asked he said he didn't really have any white amber (which means opaque pale yellow material). Nevertheless, I saw two groups and remarked "this would be white amber if one cleaned off the external crust." He disagreed with me, and said. "no, this stuff is DARK inside"—an opinion I rather doubt. Finding that the price per strand was pretty good, I selected this necklace of graduated tumbled nodules. I am pretty confident that with more cleaning, these would be white amber. I may file down a few. But I think they are very handsome as they are. JDA.
