Source of Amber

Most of the amber of commerce came from the shores of the Baltic set, especially between Memel and Danzig. There it is found both on the sea bottom and cast up along the shore, and it is also mined from the underlying strata in which it was originally deposited. Smaller quantities differing in some respects from the Baltic amber are found in Sicily, Romania, Burma and other localities.
