    Hello everyone, I just happened to read an article in the New Yorker
    this week by Elizabeth Kolbert relating to amber. It is the story of
    a roomcomposed of carved panels of amber that was made in Germany in
    the 1700's, later went to Russia and then was brought back to Germany
    and has been missing since WWII. I am sure that those of you who
    carve in any substance would enjoy reading about the original room,
    aswell as the replica that is being made right now. Unfortunately,
    this particular article isn't available online. The article asserts
    that the red amber is dyed and that the process is a "Russian trade
    secret"; a lost art until this replica of the amber room was
    undertaken. On the other hand, I worked on an exhibit that involved
    mounting amber from the American Museum of Natural History, 
    including a piece of red amber. So who knows??  Natasha
