Amber Listserv / Leaf?

[JOHN FUDALA]

About dendrite. I have piece of Baltic amber with a nice dendrite structure
in it. I remember talking to Mr. Weitschat about it during Amberif fair two
years ago, I think. He pointed out to me that there is always two holes in a
piece of amber with such inclusion. A way in and a way out and sure enough,
my piece has two holes.
