加里宁格勒琥珀工厂是目前世界上唯一一家琥珀开采工厂。
The mining takes place on the coast of the Baltic Sea near the village of Yantarny (Russian for ‘Amber’). Experts estimate that 90% of the world’s amber succinate reserves is concentrated here. The mineral is approximately 50 million years old.

在扬塔尔内(俄语“琥珀”之意)村附近波罗的海沿岸进行开采活动。据专家估计,全球90%的琥珀酸盐储量集中在这里。这些琥珀大约有5亿年的历史。
According to hypothetical reserve estimates, nearly 300 thousand tons of amber is available.

根据猜测的琥珀储量推算,可开采琥珀数量约为30万吨.
Amber is primarily used to make jewelry and medicines. It also has more poetic monikers such as “tears of the sea” and “gift from the sun”, among others.

琥珀主要用来制作珠宝和药品。它还拥有一些更为诗意的名字,例如“海洋之泪”和“太阳礼物”等等。
In the ancient world, a small piece of jewelry made from amber usually cost more than a young slave due to the fact that delivering amber to Rome along the Amber Road was fraught with difficulties and peril.

Igor Zarembo

古时候,由于运送琥珀前往罗马的琥珀之路充满了困难和危险,因此即使由琥珀制成的小饰品通常都要比一个年轻奴隶的价格更高,
Amber was not just used for making beautiful jewelry to wear. It was also used for more practical objects, such as cigarette cases, ash trays, jewelry boxes, and even clocks.

琥珀不只可以用来制作用以佩戴的美丽首饰,还可以用于制作如烟盒、烟灰缸、首饰盒,甚至时钟等更实用的物品。
After World War II, the secrets of creating large amber products were largely lost to the world.

Igor Zarembo

二战结束后,制作大型琥珀制品的秘诀几乎失传于全世界。
Experts have distinguished approximately 250 varieties of amber, ranging from “sea” to “land”, the latter of which is found on the Amber Coast.

从“海洋”到“陆地”专家们大致区分出了250个种类的琥珀,其中后者发现于琥珀海岸。
The reason for color variations is usually explained by various splotches, like, for example, those caused by algae that give the amber a greenish hue. If a lot of air bubbles were frozen in the gem, it turns a white foamy color. Some minerals can even give amber a certain silver tint.

琥珀颜色的变化原因通常在于不同的色斑,例如那些由海藻形成的琥珀颜色一般都偏绿。如果琥珀中冻结了很多气泡,那么它将变成白色泡沫状的颜色。有一些矿物质甚至可以使琥珀呈现银色。
Even though amber is fossil resin from conifers, not one conifer needle has yet to be found in any piece of amber. Scientists cannot explain this phenomenon.

Igor Zarembo

虽然琥珀是针叶树树脂化石,但是在任何一块琥珀中都没有发现过针叶树的针叶。科学家们无法解释这一现象。
