Amber Listserv / Amber list: Information on the chemistry of green amber

[JOHN FUDALA]

Lord!
Of course each "amber" is a different animal.
The green in Dominican is not the green in Mexican which almost looks like
the green (natural) of Baltic.
I do not mean the fluorescent green- a green thru-out green, sort of "plant"
green color.
Rare.
