Why are amber and jet such a perfect combination? Neither behaves
like an ordinary gemstone. They're both very lightweight, and can
pick up a static charge. That's because they're both fossils - amber
of the sap of ancient conifers, and jet of just about any living thing
that shared this world with the dinosaurs. (Including other
dinosaurs.) Like your amber straight-up?

There's some very convincing fake amber out there, but real amber releases a piney, resiny scent (rather than a chemical, burnt-plastic smell) when touched with a hot pin. Real jet, when rubbed against your front tooth, feels like it's "writing," and if you breathe on it, it shows the condensation from your breath longer than onyx or most plastics.
