The amber produced by the European Baltic countries is the most famous, and other countries such as North America, the United States, India, New Zealand, and Myanmar have produced. China's amber production areas include Fushun, Liaoning and Nanyang, Henan. The amber produced by Fushun is yellow to golden yellow. It often contains insects, which are clear and beautiful, and are extremely valuable varieties. The quality of amber produced in Nanyang is poor, and it can only be used for medicinal purposes and to make pressed amber.

Identify the true and false of amber. The natural amber texture is very light and floats in saturated brine. However, burning or hard rubbing will give off the fragrance.
