The cognac amber ranges from very light, pale yellow to dark red, brown.
The cognac colour comes from absorbing the elements it rests with while
fossilising in the earth.
The green coloured amber is really due to a clever way of working amber.
The Amber craftsman chooses a stone with a light honey colour which has
a slight green hue. The green colour is emphasised by leaving the outside
crust of the rough stone on the back of the stone which is very dark and
thus darkens the light green hue to a beautiful rich green.
The butterscotch coloured amber is due to air bubbles trapped in the amber.
Up to 900,000 per square millimetre can be found in the white Amber.
This soft light coloured Amber is simply the very pale cognac coloured
stone - see cognac Amber.
