Test Your Amber

I read of several ways to make sure your amber is real. This is the least invasive way that I read. You can test amber that is not in a heavy setting of some sort. I tested Ezra's amber necklace making sure to put the clasp (it has plastic in it) on the outside of the cup. Amber will float in salt water and sink in fresh water. Here is is SUNK. :)

And here it is floating in a glass of salt water. 8 oz of water with 2 tablespoons of salt. 


I'm thinking of getting hazel wood for the girls and I. I think that would be beneficial.
