This stone is a lot lighter than it appears, it really throws you off.
Copal. Trees ooze resin to protect themselves from pests and infections. If you ever handled a freshly fallen pine cone, then you've experienced this sticky goo first hand... and right hand... and left hand. Copal is tree resin that has been buried for thousands of years. Pressure and heat from sediments and other processes have hardened and polymerized the resin.
Amber. Copal that stays buried and doesn't decay for millions of years becomes amber. It is considered fossilized tree resin at this point. There are a lot of ways to destroy copal, so amber is relatively rare.The stones are wet in these photos. This is what the stone will look like after its been tumbled and polished. Showing the stone in this state shows its true potential.
