Amber as an Ornament
Generally used in the making of ornaments, amber is an extremely valuable stone formed by the fossilization of pine tree resin over many years. Amber, which has a fragile characteristic, is therefore extremely difficult to work with, which increases the price of processed amber. Amber prayer beads are expensive due to both amber being a rare stone and the significant effort required for handcrafting. They are generally bought by collectors and preferred as collection prayer beads. One of the most important features of amber prayer beads is their color change. So, how do amber prayer beads change color?
Amber stones begin to change color at the end of the 5th year after being processed. Their color changes slowly and takes its true color after exactly 15 years. While amber colors are very diverse, the most commonly found colors include yellow, orange, red, honey-colored, brown, and blue amber.
256 Different Amber Colors
So far, 256 different amber colors have been identified. Unfortunately, only experts can identify real amber prayer beads. Therefore, when buying amber prayer beads, you should either use very reliable websites or buy only certified amber prayer beads. Otherwise, there is always a risk of buying fake amber.
A first method used to determine if an amber prayer bead is real is to scrape a little from the bead with a needle and burn the scraped residue. When real amber burns, it fills the surroundings with a very sharp pine scent because it is made of pine resin. As the amber stone heats up, its color begins to darken. For this reason, real amber stones held to a flame change color to a reddish hue and ignite, emitting a pine scent. Another test that individuals who want to buy amber prayer beads but are unsure of their authenticity can perform is the electron test. Amber stones are stones with magnetic attraction and, when rubbed against static fields like woolen fabric, they emit small sparks and have the power to attract substances like small pieces of paper. Amber prayer beads, one of the most popular among prayer bead models, are also one of the best-selling prayer bead models.
