[@lizbrown9553]

WOW!! I HAD NO IDEA THAT AMBER HAD SO MANY VARIETIES!!!! I THOUGHT ONLY IT WAS A DARKER HONEY COLOR .. I THINK THIS TUTORIAL WAS YOUR MOST INFORMANT OF THE ONES I'VE BEEN WATCHING.THANK YOU FOR YOUR KIND SHARING❤

[@Fishhead217]

Amber is one of my favourites…your collection is so beautiful…thank you for your valuable information…you addressed something I’ve been very concerned about.🧡

[@KarenHuiCrystals]

Thank you for watching. Becuase I had a friend who lives in the U.S., everytime he came back to China, he would go to the market buy those second generation amber bracelets and sell, he said foreigners don't care about this, they just buy the look. I doubt what he told me. But that was like 10 years ago, we had no more contact since 2014.

Hi karen I like ur vedio an ur way of showing fake or real Crystals. Thanku it's really helpful.

[@sarahedwards7520]

Hi, very informative and helpful video. When you mention the smell of the amber when rubbed, you have used the word 'rosin' but actually I believe the word is 'resin'. Anyway I understood! Thanks and look forward to more.

[@glittersloth11]

[@awthismoment]

Hi Karen, may I know how accurate is using salt water to test on flower amber authenticity? What is the right ratio of water and salt for the testing? Tysm!

[@KarenHuiCrystals]

Hi, salt water can not test second generation amber.

[@awthismoment]

@@KarenHuiCrystals Oh! I brought a flower amber and testes it on salt water. It does float so I was wondering how accurate it is to do the salt water method on the authenticity. Tysm Karen!

[@krystal5681]

I’ve been eyeing amber for some times and I heard ppl said that it’s fake so I never buy it before This video is so interesting and helpful with my doubts about amber Thank you so much for explaining about amber! Will definitely refers to this video when I want to buy an amber❤️ Pls come out more video about how to identify real or fake crystals! Your knowledge and experience is really admirable 😍

[@KarenHuiCrystals]

Thank you for watching. I will surely film more videos about real or fake.

[@NicolePaler]

[@sukikniezewski4702]

Can you tell me the blue beads the last one from your samples? Thank you

[@KarenHuiCrystals]

Hi, I think you are referring to the blue amber.

[@xyliaable]

it so informative. can you do how to differentiate other crystals?

[@KarenHuiCrystals]

Hi, there are a few more videos about real or fake kzbin.info/aero/PL7gwev9hg94dBNnW51acoiHqlfTB_acfb

[@redjeans28]

Please do a video on zultanite stone only extracted from Turkey

[@Ballbe100]

Thank you Karen

[@RUGRAF-rf8fi]

Thank you for this important information. I know this is about 2 yrs old video. I do wonder about the dark red color amber I see on sites. Is that real amber? Some dark red listed as from Russia. Honestly I know nothing about this dark amber. I have not seen it in shops to inspect a piece. Would the same technique be applied?

[@KarenHuiCrystals]

@@RUGRAF-rf8fi Hi, Amber stone has many colors, also different origins, dark red color is real, but I can not be sure the one you looked was real. There are too many fake Amber stones!

[@MrsBalach]

Oh I just came here to talk about red amber, mine is brownish and unlike you I had never heard about yellow amber, I didn't even know the name was amber, I saw that stone online and came to know the name was amber and it was referred as old Moroccan amber if it helps you, I don't think mine glow like that in the video, what I want to know only cut amber glow ? Or there are some other tests to check the red amber ?

[@MrsBalach]

​@@KarenHuiCrystalsmine is in a string, I can't take it out to do a salt water test, I have 4 in total and I'd love to get some more

[@MrsBalach]

Are you talking about etsy, ebay or some other online sites ? Dark coloured amber is beautiful compared to light coloured amber, I was looking to have some pieces but I don't know why this amber has become non existent and we can't find it anymore

[@kolorninecup7597]

Chinese dishes - names so delicious, Ambers never knew of so many kinds - please include Latin letters for I love to Rhyme - Color coordinates in Time.

[@KarenHuiCrystals]

Emm, that's how we describe the color, haha, everything is about food.

[@doiyakss]

Hi Karen. Can you sell Amber on your store? Thank you

[@KarenHuiCrystals]

Hi, thank you for liking the Amber. More Amber products will be available on my store at www.diynotion.com

[@clwbchbabycakes]

[@esthergarcia1674]

[@KarenHuiCrystals]

[@QuailCanyonAnthropolgy]

Now I know to never buy amber, I will only use amber that I find in nature. Thank you Karen.

[@KarenHuiCrystals]

Thank you for watching. :)

[@knowan59]

Great video again Karen! Thank you. You showed a certificate here and i was wondering...is it possible to fake a certificate? If yes, may you also do a video how to spot fake certificates too? =)

[@KarenHuiCrystals]

Thank you for the suggestion, I can only do Chinese certs video. 🤣

[@kayerraga]

Is it true that amber glows under uv light? I have two flower amber bracelets. Is there a possibility that they are 2nd generation amber?

[@KarenHuiCrystals]

Hi, second generation amber also glows, so if we want to spot if it's real, the pattern is the more important. Plastic, 2nd generation amber would have stirring pattern.

[@kayerraga]

Thanks, Karen.

[@thedacoates2524]

I would love to buy yours

Thank you. 😃

Lovely

[@arcanalumina3276]

I wanna buy amber but yes, I'm also scared because its not really heavy, chicken oil, even if it sounds funny, it does look like the color same as chicken fat and chicken oil on top of rice is delicious (I'm sorry with my rambling) The variety of of amber in english name is quite appetizing.. honey amber is one of them 😅

[@KarenHuiCrystals]

Yes, Chinese love to use names of food to describe the colors of gemstone. Haha. 😂

[@robingales6126]

Butterscotch is the name forthis

[@زهراءواسطي]

Hello, how do I get these stones, I earn my living from them please

[@321junhao]

just guessing from photo/thumbnail. before i watched: right one is fake (necklace bead) after watching: right one is plastic (necklace bead) didn't know there are so many different amber crystals. one of it look like citrine 🤔 always so confusing

[@KarenHuiCrystals]

Hahaha, you are right before and after. Plastic amber has no soul.

[@321junhao]

@@KarenHuiCrystals agree 👍 i wouldn't want my pixiu or black obsidian to be plastic. or my future tiger eye that im planning to buy

[@colarodriguez3307]

but which stone are we talking about?

[@FamLyf]

The other they call beeswax

[@mydisneynme]

I bought some recently with those Chinese certificate ugh
