    I used to live in Kenya and saw these amber balls a lot, in several
    different colors as you describe. I asked about them once and was
    told they were also called "tree amber" and not formed like the
    clear amber but instead were made from pitch from trees, heated and
    shaped, ie more modern creations. Most are opaque. Donna in VA
