    That all is quite right...which is why I've never appreciated Baltic
    amber; it's 95% treated in some fashion. Chiapas and Dominican
    material however, since the 'trade' does NOT go back for so long a
    time period possibly, and there being such a limited amount, is
    almost never treated at all. That's especially so because the
    natural colors found in those two places are fantastic in their own
    right. Take a gander at the color variation of the pieces I have on
    my site to see the real possibilities of this magical material:
