Amber Listserv / What a find???

[Info_BlueAmber]

Yeah, Wolfgang is great. And gives excellent service to our "Arbeitskreis Bernstein" group as our president. He was also the one who checked first the bee / wasp / nest / hive in La Toca amber we found. While George Poinar first though it was from a bee, Grimaldi, Engels, Justin Schmidt,  Stephen L. Buchmann and all the others of the gang thought it was from a wasp. Well, judge for yourself, guys.

See pictures. More about it at http://ambarazul.com/wordpress/2006/02/  "Bee a wasp."

  Those cabs are just awesome.  Hermann, setting the lottery aside just how much would one of those cabs cost the average amber collector or jewelry buff?  

  Nice photo of you guys and Wolfgang.  I've never met him, but have talked with him a couple of times on the phone when he's been here in the US.  Really nice guy.

  Oh, no, John, don't misunderstand me. Blue amber stays still beautiful after you cut is into cabs. It does not loose a bit. See pictures of some cabs we made ( in natural day light). 

  Shame I was not at Amberif. Should try next year. Wolfgang Weitschat and Kazimieras Mizgiris kept insisiting during their last visit here in the DR (see pic), but after Tucson and the shows in California we were shot. Wrong decision, I guess, and I envy you.

    Ha ha ha! I knew it! I really thought you probably sold the stones... 
    Doug explained to the buyer the whole story about blue Dominican amber. He also mentioned that at retail level, one is looking at $10,000 worth of amber. Whatever that may mean;))) We had so much fun at Amberif!

      Well, I just was wondering, because I sold it to a customer who took it to Poland. I recognize the stones. 

      It is true that the color depends much on the reflection since it is no solid color, but florescence. see www.blueamber.info . Even stones that look realy blue-blue are not as blue when they are polished. But: Take them to a dance club and see what long wave UV does to them. Hihi...

        Hi Hermann.
        No, I do not know.
        The jeweller that had them on a table has just bought the whole lot from someone. He would not say how much he paid. He also had no idea what blue amber is and that it will not be as blue if he polishes or cuts it into smaller pieces.

          In Mexco and in China, they also make all kinds of fake inclusions. Here are some pictures of what they sell in China as "amber". ( Yiwu Kaixiang Industrial and Trade Co., Ltd.) A far cry....

          By the way, John, do you know how much they were charging for the "blue amber eggs" at the Amberif, considering that Tammy thinks she has to win in the lottery ?
