A treasure-trove of a book about amber!
Patty C. Rice brings a passionate love for her subject to this wonderfulbook. She offers a very comprehensive study of this beloved gemstone, froma detailed account of its long history, to the folklore surrounding it, toa thorough study of its scientific properties.She explores the many sourcesof amber worldwide, and gives an exhaustive study of the amazing variety ofamber. Most helpful to a collector, she explains in detail how genuineamber differs from its imitations, and how you can perform simple tests todetermine if yours is authentic.The mechanics of working with amber as alapidary or jewelry- maker are also discussed.I loved the wealth ofgorgeous photos, many of them from Dr. Rice's own impressive personalcollection from all over the world. Her book does full justice to thebeauty and enduring fascination of amber, and if you love it as much as Ido, her book is a must-have. ... Read more
