Amber inclusions

[Majecot]

TygrEyes I found some interesting articles on Amber, on how it is extracted or collected. Amber made into jewlery is pretty popular. I found this picture of an amber egg, the actual egg itself is pretty small but the base of the main egg is also amber.

I do not see why it could not be fashioned into a sphere as well.

Here are some other interesting items made from amber.

I found this link also. I started to read it, but it's so long I haven't finished it.

I think one of your links went to a specific page on the above site.

About amber in general, I found a site that had a tip or secret to getting scratches out of amber. It said to use car wax and styrofoam to polish it. All that would do is fill the scratch with car wax! That's not my idea of removing a scratch. The bigger sphere that I just got in the mail yesterday has some small scratches/pits & one bigger scratch, but I wouldn't want to fill it up with wax - yuck.
