Amber Listserv / What a find???

Wed May 7 09:32:39 EDT 2008

I'm sure the cabs wouldn't appear so blue without the black background in
the picture..
In fact it would be interesting to see the photos on white background just
for comparising.
Material with lots of fluorescence can stand a lot of exposure and Hermann
has got the pick of what comes out of the mines, but generally speaking it
is true, the smaller the window, the deeper the blue.
I myself like amber for its natural beauty. When it is cut, polished or
worse, mounted in metal- it feels imprisoned;)))) Why, blue might be an
exception here;))

Personally I have not seen blue Dominican amber under UV light, but even
regular Dominican shines such a strong green- yellow fluorescence that for
next Amberif there might be a permanent source of UV shining on the display.
This is the stuff to wear to a disco!
