Study of Amber  2008-09-02
The Amber Book, by Dahlstrom and Brost makes for good reading by anyone interested in amber. The book is well written, there are many beautiful pictures and drawings. What I found most enjoyable about the book are the little anecdots along the margin of the book which are filled with facts and lore. The authors discuss primarily amber found in the baltic region. I wished the authors had given more coverage to amber found in other parts of the world. All in all a nice book and an easy read.
What? You don't already have this book???  2002-04-04
Buy this book, and when you can stop drooling at the pictures, call me and we will talk. Gorgeous pictures, worth the cost of the book by themselves. A wide ranging course of study on the basics of the Amber trade and a comprehensive scientific primer on the nature of Amber, are a wonderful bonus.The book also includes several methods for determining if what you have is real or synthetic Amber, as well as a solid discussion of the various types of fakes that are on the market, and how to spot them. I sell Amber and Jet, both of which are fossil "gemstones" and I always recommend this book to my customers. A well informed customer is the best way to keep honest merchants in business, since they are unlikely to pass up quality work in favor of the "bargain" that is really a fake. I recomend the book "Jet Jewelry and Ornaments" by Helen Muller for a similar overview on Jet. I can also recommend the Dorling and Kimberly (DK Books) Gemstone book for an overview of gemstones in general.
