I believe amber is not uncommon in the region, so unless it was a special personal piece, it was probably made for sale. To complicate it, unfortunately illegal amber mining also exists. It’s so hard to know how effective our help is. All we can do is try to do what we think is right. I think you did a good thing!

This was vintage and had obvious signs of wear, so much so I replaced the cord.
