Original Message:   "Amber" Dice

While I was in Latvia and Lithuania (about three weeks ago), I noticed some amber sellers had piles of dice. These ranged in size from game-size to about an inch and 1/4 in diameter. The materials was translucent yellow (of course). I considered buying some, and pondered having to drill them from corner to opposite corner. I picked up a large one, and held it up to the light. I quickly realized it was a yellow material, securing many small bits of amber. So, they are an artificial product that "contains amber." Along the lines of Bernit or Bernat. (Amber suspended in Damar resin.) I immediately decided to not buy any. But I took a photo.... Jamey Copyright 2024 All rights reserved by Bead Collector Network and its users
