Basic characteristics of amber

(1) chemical composition: organic compound C 10H 16O.

(2) Crystallization form: amorphous and irregular lumps, which can be streamlined. These streamlines can be enhanced by strung inclusions.

(3) Hardness: 2.5.

(4) Relative density: 1.08.

(5) Refractive index: about 1.54, single refraction.

(6) Fracture: Shell fracture.

(7) Gloss: resin luster.

(8) Transparency: transparent to translucent.

(9) Color: yellow to brown, light red to light white, sometimes light green or light blue.

(10) electrical characteristics: good insulation, such as hard friction power generation, and paper adsorption after charging.

(1 1) fluorescence: it shows light blue-white fluorescence under long-wave ultraviolet light and light green fluorescence under short-wave ultraviolet light.

(12) Inclusion: It often contains plant debris, insects and spiders, small animals and bubbles.
