Amber is one of my favourites…your collection is so beautiful…thank you for your valuable information…you addressed something I’ve been very concerned about.🧡

Thank you for watching. Becuase I had a friend who lives in the U.S., everytime he came back to China, he would go to the market buy those second generation amber bracelets and sell, he said foreigners don't care about this, they just buy the look. I doubt what he told me. But that was like 10 years ago, we had no more contact since 2014.

Hi Karen, may I know how accurate is using salt water to test on flower amber authenticity? What is the right ratio of water and salt for the testing? Tysm!

Hi, salt water can not test second generation amber.

@@KarenHuiCrystals Oh! I brought a flower amber and testes it on salt water. It does float so I was wondering how accurate it is to do the salt water method on the authenticity. Tysm Karen!

Chinese dishes - names so delicious, Ambers never knew of so many kinds - please include Latin letters for I love to Rhyme - Color coordinates in Time.

Emm, that's how we describe the color, haha, everything is about food.

@arcanalumina3276 9 ай бұрын

I wanna buy amber but yes, I'm also scared because its not really heavy, chicken oil, even if it sounds funny, it does look like the color same as chicken fat and chicken oil on top of rice is delicious (I'm sorry with my rambling) The variety of of amber in english name is quite appetizing.. honey amber is one of them 😅

Is it true that amber glows under uv light? I have two flower amber bracelets. Is there a possibility that they are 2nd generation amber?

@KarenHuiCrystals 2 жыл бұрын

Hi, second generation amber also glows, so if we want to spot if it's real, the pattern is the more important. Plastic, 2nd generation amber would have stirring pattern.

just guessing from photo/thumbnail. before i watched: right one is fake (necklace bead) after watching: right one is plastic (necklace bead) didn't know there are so many different amber crystals. one of it look like citrine 🤔 always so confusing
