Goldfinger Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 (edited) The best amber in the world comes from the Baltic area. There's also some found in Mexico, Dominican Republic and even New Jersey among many other areas.My suggestion would be to contact the two US companies listed on here..http://www.amber.org.pl/english/recommended-companies/Tell them what you're looking for and I'm sure you'll get some help.Steve Edited March 20, 2013 by Goldfinger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haderly Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Amber is commonly faked so be very careful when buying. Stay away from any Chinese dealers as most is resin even if it has bugs in it. Also a lot is of amber being sold is just modern tree sap or at best Copal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
