Amber Listserv / Madagascar copa

[tamber12 at aol.com]

We had someone else in the group who made a beautiful amber prism a while back.? She even took a photo of its reflective capabilities.? I wouldn't mind having an amber prism myself.? And they can come in different styles.? I'll bet you could do something wonderful, W.

It sounds like a good idea! Well actually I have seen a rather perfect 'sphere' and an 'egg' out of madagascar copal, but completely transparant, with no inclusion in it at all.

?

I have some larger pieces with inclusions, but don't really know how to grind and polish them up to a more attractive geometrical shape.

hey Hans

?

have you ever considered making a prism or a sphere ?

that material would be well suited for such a project especially if a large insect could be orientated in the center 

here is a example but I think that material would look much better given its clarity

?
