• Transparency/Opacity: Simple information about the light transmission of the product is provided on the label.
• Polished Section: One rod has been simply polished by partially removing roughness. You can see the appearance the product will take when made into beads by looking at this area.

About the Quality of Our Genuine Pressed Amber:

• No plastic, epoxy, or any other non-pressed amber materials are used in our products
• Genuine pressed ambers do not ignite; they immediately carbonize and emit a characteristic odor when burned.
• They change color when soaked in bleach and return to their original color after drying for a while.
• They become more lustrous and glassy over time.
• They change color at different tones and speeds depending on the user's hand sweat.
• They are not conductive and do not become magnetic through friction (they do not attract hair or cigarette ashes).
• They are in Bakelite form, discovered by Leo Hendrik Baekeland in 1909.
• They became widely used globally in the 1940s and 1950s.
• There is no such thing as pressed amber from the Ottoman period.
• They have the hardness and workability suitable for machine processing.
• They have a characteristic odor and do not smell like pine trees.
• Since they are made from chemicals, they should be worked in a ventilated area or outdoors.
• Their dust can be harmful, so avoid inhaling it.
