Like all living things, amber has a certain life span and "dies" from the long intensive or long socks lying in the dust wardrobe. Choosing amber jewelery, look at their color and transparency. Young transparent amber color and fine passes. It may have different shades, but in any case should not be dark or opaque. Although there are exceptions to this rule. If you really like stone and is a strong desire to wear it, most likely, a combination of age, color and medicinal properties need you at the moment.
By the way, about the healing properties of amber jewelery. Many people know that amber - not just a trinket on the neck or wrist. This mineral has long been famous for its healing properties and is used in the treatment of many diseases. If you have any problems with the thyroid gland, are considered the best tool for young amber beads from. Friction stones in the neck creates microcurrents, a beneficial effect on the thyroid gland.

Useful by and for general strengthening of the body, heals the internal organs and gives the holder the power and durability.

Unfortunately, there were many imitations of natural amber. These products are outwardly indistinguishable from natural amber, however, do not possess any of its medicinal properties, or noble birth. To distinguish natural amber from fake enough to drip on the surface of a drop of alcohol or acetone. If the stone is real - nothing will happen. If you are holding a fake - the structure in the field of application of the droplets change. Of alcohol on fake amber appear sticky spots that can be felt when applied to the finger drop. A contact surface with acetone forgery becomes cloudy. Acetone alone keen on not worth it. Just a few seconds to ensure the authenticity of the product.
