-== Description ==
+Blistering
-A fused mass of [[amber|amber]] prepared by compressing scrap pieces of natural amber at high temperatures. First made in 1895, amberoid can be cut and shaped into beads, handles and small boxes. Close examination can reveal elongated air bubbles and occasionally some milky streaks along former surface lines. Amberoid is stronger than natural amber, but is considered an inferior product.
