Melting Amber - Questions Answers - The Fossil Forum Essentially, the same processes are used today for much of the so-called “amber” jewellery sold cheaply in gift shops (although it is contrary to International Amber Association rules to call it amber), often with the added refinement of dyes to improve or change the colour There are other methods in modern use, developed in the late 1950’s
