How can I tell if Baltic amber is real?
1 Answer
There are a few different ways to check if Baltic amber is real. Amber should feel warm and slightly tacky to the touch. Baltic amber will float in saltwater, making this a simple test to check authenticity. Real amber may also give off a pine-like scent if you rub it gently. You can also have a professional authenticate your piece to be absolutely sure. Shop a range of Baltic amber pieces on 1stDibs.
