Tibetan amber pricing

[Jaegerhando]

Dear members, I'd like your opinion on a Tibetan amber I have for sale.
What value do you think it'd be?
My father got it from a Tibetan friend Lobsang during the 1970s when we lived in Nepal.

Best wishes.

Interesting! And welcome!

Without a report, I would not be able to distinguish it from resin/polymer/reconstituted.

I am struggling a little to gauge scale from anything in any of those photos (except maybe the Post-It note on the wall). Dimensions and weight would help. How big of a lump can amber come in, anyway? Also, not too familiar with the opacity of this specimen but I am guessing it is less desirable than the transparent variety?

Hi Lil Alex, thanks for your reply.
What do you mean by a report.
Is there anything I can provide to get a better price quote?
Or is there another place I could ask?
Than k you

This is not a forum for getting "price quotes."

You will need a report from a recognized lab in your country that confirms that it is genuine amber and untreated, etc. Forgive me but it looks like a lump of plastic and we do not know Lobsang.

That's all I got. Others may be along with their opinions. Best of luck.

It doesn’t look like amber…?

But anyway, nobody can give you a quote here but I would be surprised if you got more than a few dollars for it
