How to recognize real amber?
Add 1 or 2 tablespoons of salt to a glass or water, mix, allow the salt to melt and then add some pieces of amber. Real amber will come to surface and will not sink and plastic will sink onto the bottom very nicely.
The surface of your piece of amber should be rubbed with certain spirit solution. It can be simple vodka or perfume. If it is real amber, nothing will happen and if it is colophony or young resin brought from other countries of the world, an alcohol-soaked serviette will adhere to that piece and colophony or plastic will start melting.
You can take a hot needle and try to “pierce”. If it is amber, we will fail to make a hole as the minimum 370° temperature is necessary for that. If it is plastic or another imitation, we can “pierce” that piece.
