    I have a beautiful WWI era necklace of faceted red amber beads.  I
    have been told that they are cherry amber.  The color is not a
    lipstick red, but a dark brownish red that resembles the color shown
    at the site you suggest (figure 12 at
    http://www.emporia.edu/earthsci/amber/fig12.htm). 

    However, that site pictures a necklace of disk-shaped beads, which
    appears to consist of dark, shiny beads with little hint of the
    color. My faceted beads have a fabulous play of color in most lights,
    but especially in natural sunlight.  The color is a saturated
    golden-brownish-red.  (I hope that description of the color makes
    sense.)
