...I am of the Baltic Sea. My Mother North, My Father Thunder. Amber soul of mine, and dark skies that wonder... Dzintars in Latvian. It is a mans name too. Dzintars. 📿 💛
I been doing amber business since I was little boy in Tibet, and I love amber very much just because of its smell and most beautiful different colors, sharpe and size. Amber is the most smoothy and softest gemstone on the earth. I been most of Baltic Sea areas, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Ukraine, Russia, Poland, and Western Germany. We Tibetans have been using amber as jewelry so far I know since 8th century which means around 12000 years now. And Nowadays amber is fashion in Chinese market last few decades.
@@sobraine123 We used trade ambers from India ancient time, so I have been thinking ambers resourced from India but later I found out the main amber resources come from Russia, Poland, morden days Latvia, Lithuania around Baltic seas areas
So,I went to the Baltic sea with family recently.Have no idea how amber took my atention.I did not see any or buy I do not know.But it interested me till the point I reasearched about it on net.This is the most precise info about it I have found!!It answers on so so much questions about amber!And this search for info on amber has lead me to a very DIRTY and DARK waters...Reality of Baltic sea today is tragic.Do to agriculture,pesticides,ww 2 chemical weapons trown in the sea after war.Some estemations say that 40 000 tons of toxic material is in Baltic,in barels,that are rusting away and release it's content in the sea.Also amber is exploated on so massive scale that gread makes people do crazy things to get it.Digging in forests,destroying ecosistem and so on...And for what?To be sold to rich chinese people who got rich on destroying nature and exploiting people,animals,nature by mass production of most of products used today all over the world.Baltic is septic pool. animal waste from ever growing farms that produce catle find their way to the sea and kiling it.This globalization....
Sounds about right. We still love our sea. But it is the dirtiest sea 🌊 and our amber has been as raped as our nation, but it is as strong and ancient as our people.
I had the pleasure to go to Lithuania in 2017 . I visited the Baltic Sea rainy and all. I went in a Amber jewelry store. The Amber was beautiful but I could not afford anything and you was not allowed to take pictures. Since then I been interested in Amber.
Don’t know about that, but when the Great Belt bridge was built in Denmark during the late 1990’s, the digning stirred up the bottom so much, that more than the usual amount of amber was found along the adjacent coast line og Fuen and Zealand.
@bobwat2390 congratulations Bob; you spotted it. You win a lifetimes supply of petrified corn kernels from 9th Century Denmark! Not really.....but thanks for making me smile on a Tuesday morning
Hi. Not sure what you mean. Very little amber comes from Germany...its mostly found in Poland, Latvia, Lithuania and Russia. I am sure you can buy beads in Germany but they are becoming harder and harder to find and very few companies make beads because the price is restrictively expensive
What.... the Amber room was sent to Königsberg for ''safekeeping''...first you plunder and then you keep the plundered goods safe from owner. Ja right.
wait what... how could amber ever be worth two hundred times as much as gold, weight for weight... what's the source for that? THat makes as much sense as the common myth that salt was as valuable as gold in some places. Unless amber is as light as cotton, there is no way for that to be true. Gold was always valuable, and amber would have been much easier to get a hold of to the Romans. They had the French and British coastlines after all. I can see a piece of amber carved by a skilled artisan to be worth as much a lot, but not just raw amber.
Hi Helen. Most amber comes from Latvia, Lithuania and Kaliningrad and is 100% natural. Unfortunately there is a lot of fake Amber available too...from plastic pieces made in China to ambroid ( reconstituted) amber made in Turkey. Just be careful and buy from a reputable dealer.
1- Amber is 10% denser than water so it doesn't float. 2- ēlektron must've been mistaken for whale's amber hence named so, unless if it happened to be called amber up north before getting in contact with the Romans.
There is no such thing as "whale amber". If you are referring to ambergris that's a completely different thing. But thanks for commenting, makes all the work I've put in so much more rewarding
Hi Annie. The 2 easiest ways are either 1. Rub it vigorously against a wool or silk item. This will create a positive charge if it is amber and if you put a piece of tissue paper close to the amber it will attract it 2. Find an inconspicuous area of the amber ( maybe at the back) and prick ot with a hot needle. You should smell pine or spruce in the smoke if its real. Also if its warm or at least at room temperature to the touch its probably amber ( metal will always feel cold because it is a good heat conductor). Good luck
I’ve forgotten all about it, am sure it’s in one of the bags of jewelry I keep it in, or in a bag I have I don’t remember where I kept it but I’ll have to look for it.
Please note that at 5:6 Ukraine is called "The Ukraine" which is a term used by Russia to name a place that they once believed to be a region of their own country which it was not and is not. Ukraine is not a region like, say the arctic, it is a country in it's own right. There is currently a war going on over this very concept. Glory to Ukraine - Glory to the heroes !
Oh calm down. Its a story about a gem: not a political statement. It was written years ago when you didn't have your little Internet crusade supporting Ukraine. If that's the only negative I'll take it the rest of the presentation meets your approval?

Where did the ancient amber in Tibet come from ?
Hello do you have yellow ancient beads specially Tibetan origin which lobha people's of India wears.

Probably the longest piece of advertising I have ever watched. It's also the most informative.
Would you like to buy some then?
@@theartofrussia5859 Not really ... I was wondering whether the blowing up of the gas pipelines would have stirred up more amber.
Don’t know about that, but when the Great Belt bridge was built in Denmark during the late 1990’s, the digning stirred up the bottom so much, that more than the usual amount of amber was found along the adjacent coast line og Fuen and Zealand.
Thanks. Good talk.

Do you how to get more information about the german amber beads?

Where does Amber come from in jewelry that is sold today,is it reconstitutive or is it real Amber.
Hi Helen. Most amber comes from Latvia, Lithuania and Kaliningrad and is 100% natural. Unfortunately there is a lot of fake Amber available too...from plastic pieces made in China to ambroid ( reconstituted) amber made in Turkey. Just be careful and buy from a reputable dealer.

I live in a area with lots of amber so I already have a whole collection of amber
I have a heart and it’s about and a half inch, whist can I to first of all make sure it’s amber , to have it appraised a nd then to sell.
Hi Annie. The 2 easiest ways are either
1. Rub it vigorously against a wool or silk item. This will create a positive charge if it is amber and if you put a piece of tissue paper close to the amber it will attract it

@@websurfer5772 when I find and test it I will let you know Ty’s for reminding me of it .

holy fkn music fail. how does that happen? you've driven me away.
No idea what that means but thanks for commenting
Byeeeeee
The gifts from the three wise guys to the baby Jesus did not include amber.
Dont give wrong info.
Myrrh is tree resin, just like amber. They are the same genus.But thanks for commenting.
