	Amber
		In working amber, it is turned on the lathe and polished with whitening and water or with rotten stone and oil, the final lustre being given by friction with flannel.
		Amber was carried to Olbia on the Black Sea, Massilia on the Mediterranean, and Hatria at the head of the Adriatic; and from these centres it was distributed over the Hellenic world.
		Amber and certain similar substances are found to a limited extent at several localities in the United States, as in the green- sand of New Jersey, but they have little or no economic value.

		This Palace was the perfect setting for the Amber Room, once described as the "eight wonder of the world." Six tons of solid amber, backed in gold leaf filled a room in the palace.
		The room filled approximately 28 crates, and was removed from the Catherine Palace.
		Today, craftsmen are hard at work in the Palace, and hope to have a complete reconstruction of the room ready in April, 2003, in time for celebrations of the 300th anniversary of St. Petersburgh.
