Amber has a rare thing where it is light reactive. <br /><br />I read about a blue amber which is the rarity it was made by a prehistoric tree in Dominican Republic. Under sunlight it glows florescent blue. Under UV light it turns bright white. Crazy just imagine the yellow amber under thousands of candles.Lizziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06610444517085989215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2319886081447332049.post-57827361842579323422010-02-08T12:16:21.764-08:002010-02-08T12:16:21.764-08:00Wow--this is fascinating!

HA I got you hooked too.<br /><br />Pricilla, It is hard to imagine the beauty of it, overwhelmingly beautiful. I am so in agreement with you so so many greats works of art disappeared because of the war. <br /><br />Kay, Honestly I would be happy if they just found the original crates. Then they would be able to put it to rest. That yes it was here and yes it is gone because no one cared for it. It would give some sort of closure. But I guess that is why I lump it into the seven wonders because there is basically nothing left of them either. <br /><br />NurseExec, OOOOH I bet they are to die for. I love family history it is so interesting to hear other peoples history. What a cool family heirloom.<br /><br />Muse, you saw it too! I actually first heard of this recently bunker awhile ago on yahoo news but I had not heard anything for a loooong time until Michelle posted about it. It is a cool story, Indiana Jones worthy.<br /><br />Rheanna, I so will check into it thank you for sharing it. I wish someone would make like one of those large coffee table books on it, that would be cool. I love art books like that.<br /><br />Libary Pat, Thank you I am glad you enjoyed it this has been one of my favorite posts besides St Anges Eve and the last Tsar's family post. It was fun to do but it was hard to weed out the facts.Lizziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06610444517085989215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2319886081447332049.post-17512465153471420352010-02-05T23:43:20.908-08:002010-02-05T23:43:20.908-08:00Wonderful post.
