Follow on Google News | Baltic amber - Tests to identify a true amberBy: ausra Tests to Determine Amber Authenticity: Smell Tests Smell tests are effective because natural amber has a specific smell, which is difficult to obtain when producing falsifications. After heating real Baltic amber diffuses a specific delicate fragrance of pine-tree resins. Odours, diffused by falsifications: “Rubbing” Test It is possible to heat real amber by rubbing until it releases the smell of pine- tree resins. Disadvantages: The most effective – “Hot Needle” Test Push a heated needlepoint into less visible point of sample amber (drill hole of bead, etc.). If you smell a light pine resin odour, it is true amber. Disadvantage: “Salty Water” Test Relative weight of amber (also copal and polystyrene) IR spectroscopy The most effective scientific method for identifying fossil resin - IR-spectroscopy. Baltic amber is characterized by IR-spectrum segment called "Baltic amber shoulder". “Trusted Hands” There are many methods to distinguish real amber from falsehood, but for person, who has less knowledge about amber, the safest method is to buy amber from “trusted hands”. It is ideal, if a store provides a certificate, proving amber authenticity - you will be sure about your purchase.
