AMBER EARRINGS : I'm looking for someone who sells Amber. Looking for a piece of Amber shaped like a heart. If you know of anyone or can help in any way please e-mail me at Many Thanks, Lady Ethereal TrewrenDoes any one know of a period means to 'make' amber? Or for that matter anyway to make fake amber?Since amber is fossilzed tree sap, you can't "make" it. Otherwise, it was cutand polished like other stones (though a bit more carefully because of itssoftness). However, it can be melted and some suppliers will melt down scrapamber into larger pieces and reshape, reputable dealers will tell you this.Amber is not an expensive stone, the most expensive cabochon in the Rio Grandecatalog () is $10.80 for a 18 x 13 mm stone.

AMBER EARRINGS : Victor Hildebrand vonn KolnTrimaris -----The expense depends on numerous factors, such as color (dark red is the mostcostly ...), whether or not the material has been heated (which makes it anivory color), and the amount of material (obviously). I've seen necklaces inthe range of $1000.Interestingly enough, in the area where I live (SF Bay Area), Chinatown is amarvelous source for amber. I'm planning a return trip to pick up someincredibly beautiful *green* amber earrings.Fiona de BousisKingdom of the West (Mists)-----"Truth..yes..that's it...truth is a knight's greatest quality...for when a manlies, he murders some part of the world..." Merlyn from "Excalibur"I have been able to pick up strands of amber at various events frommerchants. Usually at a very good price. But it also depends on the size youare looking for. I needed the small pieces with drilled holes for my crafts,but the one merchant(I can't remember the name, sorry) I got mine from alsohad rather large pieces for a little more. Check them out too.}:)-WolfeMiladySCA wrote in message...
AMBER EARRINGS : It seemed that the original post was for some amber for a home project, so Iwas quoting generally available materials. Of course, the more expensive, highquality materials are not available through a catalog, but tend to be uniquepieces that would most likely be purchased through the professional gem trade.1 - complete faux amber - made from one or another thermoplastics or resinsand passed off as the real thing by bad dealers and artificial by the honestones.2 - reconstituted or "recon" amber - a mixture of n percent real amber (oftenvery low) and n percent modern resins - extends and adds profits, as far asbad dealers are concerned. Any dealer claiming that his/her recon is 100%amber should be whacked over the head with it, IMHO3 - addition of inclusions - since a silly movie involving dinosaur DNA andmosquitos in amber came out, the price of amber trapping natural objects hasincreased tremendously - so has the desire of some to heat the amber and addmodern ones, oft times with some modern resin as well. I saw a lovely amber inpewter (sometimes billed as "silver) art nuveau piece over and over again atlast Pennsic and at many a jeweler featuring a large cab of "genuine amber"including what looked suspiciously like included clear sequins to increase theflash.

If asked , they have toadmit that the amber was processed, but they will not volunteer the info,so caveat emptor- let the buyer beware. That million year old bug may really only be a year old.Lady JoAnna of the Singing Threads
AMBER EARRINGS : You are nowhere near halfway through the game. I would give seriousconsideration to restarting with WIS at 18 and putting the rest intoINT and STR. If you are going the fighter route, make sure you haveSTR of 18 (no more, no less ) when you reach level 7.You can go back to the Hive without messing anything up, but....Yeah, I've definitely considered restarting the entire game with ahigher INT and WIS. Presumably the replay would go somewhat fasterthan the first play.Also considered using a save-game editor, although I really hate tocheat. I suppose if I transfer points from STR and CON to INT and WISit wouldn't be cheating too badly.I'm playing as a Warrior, so I won't be able to use the stuff Wallymentioned. My best bet would probably be to visit Fell's. How *do* Iget back to the Hive from the Catacombs/Buried Village? I can't seemto find a way!
