Amber Demonstration at the Millennium Gallery Jewelry Shop in Gdansk, Poland
This demonstration by Dominika Bielicka-Sobieska took place in the Millennium Gallery just steps from the historic Green Gate along Gdansk's pedestrian riverfront. The amber found along the northern coast of Poland is about 40-45 million years old, formed from tree resin released during what was believed to be a catastrophic event. Some of the amber stones come from deep within the Baltic Sea, usually washed up after a storm, while much is still buried underground. Naturally forming, amber has many impurities in it like sand and insects (yes, as seen in the movie Jurassic Park). The jewelry is very expensive, with some of the large and highly polished stones in pendants running up to $50,000 USD or more. Gdansk also has an Amber Museum housed in the former old Prison Tower.

Making a living from amber polishing in Myanmar
Fighting in northern Myanmar has forced thousands of people to flee their homes since 2011. In a camp for displaced people near the town of Mytkhyina, Maung Htun is learning an unusual skill – amber polishing. The beautiful strings of golden beads bring in enough money for him to feed his family and feel independent again. But the price he gets for the beads depends on the quality of the amber – as he explains.

Amber: Treasures from Poland at the Hunterian Art Gallery
This unique collection of exquisite amber artefacts is exhibited for the first time in Britain. The famous Malbork Castle in Poland has built up an important national collection of Baltic amber artefacts. Also included are the famous Gierlowska lizard from the Gdańsk Amber Museum, and a collection of insects trapped in amber and historical amber artefacts from the collections of the University of Glasgow's Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery.
This exhibition introduces amber from prehistory to natural history; it looks at how people related to amber from the Stone Age onwards and at the incredible techniques and skill of the amber craftsmen who created some of the finest examples of amber art ever seen.
Amber is found in many varieties, colours, and forms. Amber from the Baltic region of Europe is the most abundant in the world and has been used by man since the ice sheets retreated 10,000 years ago. It is used around the world, for medical or spiritual wellbeing, for adornment or decoration, and for science. Wherever amber is found, it is treasured by its gatherers who, in turn, are captivated by its wonder.
