    "Faceted amber - very cool! These stones are completely clean as well, which is a bonus. They look a bit like a cross between peridot and moldavite, and have a pretty bluish tint to the facets in certain light. You wouldn't necessarily think of faceted amber as being all that but these are surprisingly pretty, and not something you're going to see around much if at all. I bought two, and the carat weights were .61 and .71. Good value for a rare piece."

    "When I saw the green amber, it had an inner glow which took me by surprise. I have seen golden amber but this should be called a gem. The light moved when I moved the gem. It is beautifull. I would tell everyone to get one when you can. You will be delighted."

    Treasured since the dawn of civilization, amber has enjoyed at least 70 centuries of popularity and has played a key role in the development of multiple societies.
    Amber is flammable and a match will cause it to ignite, creating a smell like incense.
