The talk will look at the two best-known organic gem materials of plant origin - amber and jet - both of which occur worldwide, are many millions of years old, and have been used for decorative purposes for thousands of years. Attention will also be given to the many treatments that amber and copal resins undergo today, and to some of the simulants and fakes on the market.
