		It goes slowly, he says, because amber is a rather delicate substance that must be handled gently, particularly gedanite and schranfite, the reddish resin which occurs in the cretaceous rocks of Lebanon; it tends to crack under even fairly light pressure.
		Other kinds - the brownish fl amber called stantienite, the earthy brown "rare" amber, known as beckerite, the almost opaque glessite, and the fossil resin allingite - all tend to be harder.
		Lebanese amber varies from pale yellow to dark red in color, and in some samples there is evidence of the amber flowing after insects have been trapped in it.

		These resins are: yellow transparent gedanite, brown beckerite, fl stantienite, variously coloured forms of glessite and gedano-succinite, very similar to amber; white, opaque goitschite, dirty white siegburgite and the so called fl amber.
		Besides, search for amber on Baltic beaches or fishing for it in the sea provide collectors with lumps of subfossil resins such as colophony, and recent resins.
