I have for test two Baltic ambers stones. One, smaller cognac colour, I bought it in Palanga city near Baltic sea, from local artisan, and I know it is real raw Baltic Amber, and the second, bigger - egg yolk colour, as seller ' katyusha1942 ' or ' organicwear 'on eBay from Latvia, describe - NATURAL Raw Butterscotch Egg Yolk BALTIC AMBER Polished STONE Size 9.5x9x4.5cm., I bought it from Latvia via Internet and paid via PayPal.
Both items we tested in salted water, and not salted - both looks like amber stones, but for 100% guarantee we must made more tests - one is acetone test, and another Ultra Violet test.
First Ultra Violet test - real amber must shining under ultra violet lamp.
So we have result:
As we see one, smaller stone clear cognac (left side of picture), shining very clear white blue colour, bigger stone not shining at all (right side of picture) it is dark. So we can say after this test - bigger stone is not real raw Baltic sea Amber.
Acetone test - need use pair drops of acetone, put on the testing stones and if stone is real raw Baltic Amber we no see any reactions, but if stone is not real raw Baltic Amber stone - reaction will be, and we saw it is on the bigger stone as well. So after Acetone test we can guarantee 100% bigger stone is not real raw Baltic sea Amber stone, and it is Fake, because was sold like it.
In the photo below, we see bigger stone and it have reaction - white colour, it is from Acetone reaction with Copal or Bakelite or Plastic - it is totally not raw Baltic sea Amber stone.
In the photo below, we see smaller stone and no reaction at all.
Acetone drop looks like clear water and smaller stone is real raw Baltic Amber stone.
