tree sap/ amber?

[treasurehuntr2]

Can anyone tell me anything about these. They are sort of soft (as compared to stone like hard). Someone told me they were called amber, and are formed from tree sap. They "glisten" in light and turn sort of like "moonstones"These were just strung on a brown string temporarily I assume. Are they of any value? Thanks for any help!!

and as to price...

Price will vary depending on age, etc... and unfortunately I can't say what it would be worth or if they are true amber.

Of course they are worth something but how much I don't know. Also, there were and still are some beads made of plastic that mimics amber that are mostly worthless but pretty. Amber is mostly noted for capturing small insects and plants from ancient times and anyone lucky enough to find one or more of those have a very good value. Monty

Looks like chestnuts to me. I have chestnut trees on my property.

just don't extract the DNA and create an island amusement park with dinosuars.
