Apart from that, the amber gets covered with oxidized layer that makes its surface rough and coarse. The amber nodules which were exposed to oxygen above the level of the water have the biggest degree of oxidization. Ambers presented in various expositions and collections which are constantly exposed to contact with oxygen change color from yellow to red and orange or from white to yellow.
