Wearing vs. Chewing:
Baltic Amber is effective when wearing it, not ingesting. Please don't ever place in you or your child's mouth. You can't overdose on it, but it is a choking hazard when in your mouth.

Real vs Fake Amber:
There are lots of claims that there is a lot of fake amber out there and there is!! Most of the fakes are the large pieces with inclusions (bugs etc) inside. These sell for top dollar!! The amber products that healing amber sell, are small pieces of amber that you wouldn't find in an expensive jewelry store, collectors site or museum. Their products are made from the smallest of amber pieces. Think of diamonds, the smaller the piece, the value goes way down so there isn't any real reason to create fakes for them. If you would still like to test your amber, use 1/4 cup of salt and 2 cups of warm water ~ mix well. Place your amber in and it will float. Rinse all of your amber after you take it out of the salt water. The best way to know if your amber is real or fake, buy your trusted brand.... Healing Amber! Look for our Healing Amber product card that comes with your product, and you will know that you have high quality, genuine baltic amber and piece of mind.

How long does Baltic Amber last?
Your amber will last many lifetimes. The silk string or elastic will wear out before the beads ever do. If and when this happens, feel free to restring it or make it into something else fun and beautiful.

Do I lay my amber in the sun to recharge it?
Nope, what the sun does is warm it, which softens it, which increases effectiveness for the time being. The same way that baths and showers do! Amber doesn't need any special treatment, it is what it is and works when against your skin.
