I know that the Baltic Amber is the most common amber in the world and that the famous Amber room was made fr om Baltic Amber. Now, I know more about all the fuss about the Baltic Amber with this article:

Would be fun to see the amber trade route. As I search, I found a lot of choice: https://www.google.ca/search?q=amber+trade+route&rlz=1CAASUB_enCA614CA614&espv=2&biw=1366&bih=701&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiRlYCdq9_JAhUEiRoKHctACZcQsAQIJQ&dpr=1
All or nothing. Which one to choose? I hate think kind of situation. I have a legitimate question, my curiosity is awakened and I need to know. After a quick search, I find more than I bargened and feel a bit confused. Which one is the best one? After seeing a few, I guess I can have an idea and it seems logical: it goes from the north to the south, even if it deviate a little bit to go to destination.
The article had wetted my curiosity. I would have liked to learn a bit more. There are reference, so I may check that first. It is amazing the route that some gems can take to end at their destination. I think it is the first gems that had made the most distance to come at the jewelry store. If I count the antiquity, it show how the commerce could be developped even with less than modern mean of travel.
I find that amber have something that other gemstones don't have. Of course, amber is not like most of other gemstones. I don't know if it is me but amber seems to get warmer quicker than other gemstone when held in the hand. The colors of amber makes me think of various beers. I had seen someone working with amber. I seems easy to work with amber. Seeing and doing are two things. I would be game to try work with it, just to see if it is easy. It is a material that I would like to work with it, at least once. It is for the experience. I must admit that I would like to work with many stones, not just amber. Maybe I will make a list of those stones, get them and do a projects. There is a lot of things that I would try, I just don't know if there is a place where I could do that with someone more advanced than me.
