    Amber is a petrified tree resin that should emit an aromatic aroma
    when burned. (I use a red hot needle inserted inside a bead hole) It
    is also a great conductor of static electricity so rub is on your
    pants and see if it raises a scrap of paper. It should also float.
    The texture can range from waxy to shiny, but should feel warm in the
    hand and lighter in weight than comparable glass or stone. Amber
    naturally occurs in red, yellow, whitish, blue, green and lavender
    tones depending on its source of origin. Im not aware of amber from
    the Sudan but I'm not up on all origins...Of course trading can cause
    item to travel far and wide. 

Good Luck!!
