Normally, fake amber is not something one would run into frequently. It now appears that fake amber is 'making its comeback' with the popularity of e-bay auctions. This is not to say, if you see amber for sale at e-bay, it is fake. It is probably real. But if you see amber with vertebrate animals as inclusions, then there is a very good chance that this is fake! On this page, I am going to show you some of the fakes that I have seen go through e-bay and other places.
