Talk:Blue amber

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Added the pictures under sunlight and against sunlight. Hope to clear up the true/holographic blue issue. It seems to arise a lot. Pictures are taken from Is Blue Amber Really Blue? with permission. --The Singularity 01:42, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] "holographic"?

holographic? no. fluorescent? yes.

Holography is a very distinct mechanism. this isn't it :) --207.109.251.117 12:30, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

I think 'holographic' reflects the opinion of the author. You look at it it from one side, it looks blue. Move it an inch and it gets darker. Move it again and the blue disappears, etc. Much like a 'holographic' image, although not the same process and probably wrongly applied.

[edit] Find-spots

Whereabouts is it found in the Dominican Republic? Is it washed up on the shore like the Baltic amber? Is it mined? When was it first discovered? 86.133.247.156 16:45, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
