  • The Amberif Fair, Gdańsk ‐ Development Prospects for the Export of Polish‐Made Baltic Amber Products
    Foreword The Board of the AMBERIF Fair appreciates that research is necessary for the jewellery industry, with amber as its main focus, to develop. This awareness has brought yet again a published volume as its concrete effect and this year it is a piece fitting for the Gdańsk event’s 20th anniversary. The AMBER. RESEARCH—COLLECTIONS—THE MARKET Symposium, the proceedings of which we now give you, enriches the knowledge about amber presented by the symposium contributors at very diverse lengths. These are both short abstracts and papers longer than can be presented during the symposium itself. 32 speakers and 22 contributors behind the poster submissions are not all. The co–authors almost double this number. Today, in view of the enormous methodological possibilities and equipment available only in some laboratories – for more complex subjects – it is important to gather a good research team. These are people of science, collectors or just simply amber lovers. Professor Dany Azar’s paper introduces us to the state of the art in the RESEARCH on fossil resins in the world. And then there is a large dose of knowledge about the Eocene deposits of amber (=succinite) around the Baltic Sea, in Ukraine and in Saxony–Anhalt. Plus deposits which are of the same age but of different type in Fushun, the much older deposits of Cretaceous fossil resin in Myanmar (Burma) and for the first time also from Lebanon’s Upper Jurassic sediments. From the perspective of the temporary shortage of raw amber on the market, we consider with interest the predominantly literature–based research on succinite redeposited in the Quaternary Age and the 19th century methods of its production.

A Book of Precious Stones THE IDENTIFICATION OF GEMS AND GEM MINERALS, AND AN ACCOUNT OF THEIR SCIENTIFIC, COMMERCIAL, ARTISTIC, AND HISTORICAL ASPECTS BY JULIUS WODISKA WITH 46 ILLUSTRATIONS IN COLOR AND IN BLACK AND WHITE G. P. PUTNAM'S SONS NEW YORK AND LONDON tCbe fcnicFser&ocfier press 1909 u^ l„^ o 7 vJ y Copyright, igog BY JULIUS WODISKA H.rv\fc:^^..,,,.:7 trbe 'Knfclterliocliec iPteee, 'Rew J|h>rft PEEFAOE 'X'HE object of the author is to gather together » in the present volume information of all sorts about precious stones and the minerals which form their bases ; it has been his endeavour to include all of the many aspects of his sub- ject, and, at the same time, to present it in such form that it may serve at once as a guide to the professional jeweller, a book of reference to the amateur, and yet prove of equal interest to the general reader. The study of gems, in its more obvious as- pects, forms a division of mineralogy—or more specifically of crystallography—and of the allied science, chemistry ; but the author has attempted to avoid the technicalities of these subjects and present the matter in a popular manner. While it is true that " gemology " may be included under mineralogy or chemistry, never- theless, so varied are the associations with gems, that if this scientific treatment of them were alone attempted, there would be disregarded iv Preface some of the most interesting aspects of the sub- ject, which is related not only to art, but to history and even mythology as well.
