Japanese amber
Japanese amber is a type of amber that can be found in the north of Japan, near the Pacific Ocean.

The largest sources of this mineral are located in Honshu. It is similar to Baltic amber and has similar general use. However, Japanese amber is softer and way harder to treat than the Baltic type. Its treatment requires special care and precision because stones can be easily damaged. Its color range varies from many shades of orange to brown. It is characterized by dark spots that can be found on its surface. The opacity of Japanese amber varies from clear to opaque pieces.
