Very interesting John. What's the size of that chunk?

  Pieces like this can be found on freshly plowed fields around Stegna, Poland. In nearby village of 
  Niedzwiedziowka, a large Neolithic amber workshops of the Rzucewo culture are being excavated by archaeologists.
  Looking carefully one can see the sawing marks on this piece- done by human hand most likely 5000 - 4000 years ago. But it could be as old as 13000 years. This is not a bead, its just a cut- off piece but it still gives me a special feeling when I hold it in my hand...

  John
