Amber is amazing!

 I found this video and it is «13 Amber Dyscovery from Myanmar»:

The one with the lizards would have been a big chunk of amber!  Amber is a resin, it is not a stone.  I haven't try it yet but it can be melted with a torch.  It is how it can be worked and shaped.  It is also why insects and small animals can be trapped into this sticky residue.

I would try my hand working with amber.  What would be tricky is the softness of amber.  As I said, amber can be worked with a blowtorch.  I don't have a lot of experiences with stones and jewelry making (like soldering and stone setting).  So, I wonder if I would find it easy to work with amber.  The best thing would be to try and experiement.  The only problem is that I don't have all the material, especially when it comes to soldering.  Mixing the two would be really a challenge.

I guess it would be the next items to be bought in my list.  Too bad I no longer have access to the classes I was in a few years ago.  It would had been really useful to have access to the place and to the teachers.  It is one of the thing that I really miss since it changed it's vocation.  I will have to think and find a solution.  It is great because I am solving a lot of problems lately.
