my advise to the person writing a book from the perspective of an asian american when she isn't one is to stop.

Amber-related stones

Amber calcite– see honey calcite and calcite

  AMBER STONE

Colour: yellow

Found in: Africa.

This stone is not true amber but an opal.

  AMBERGRIS

Colour: grey-white, yellow or black

Found in: worldwide

A fascinating item.  This is a grey waxy substance which is obtained from the sperm whale.  As the whale vomits up hard parts of crustaceans which it may have eaten, the mix solidifies and is washed ashore.  It was generally used in perfumes and fragrances but is now mainly replaced by synthetic products as the Ambergris was expensive and hard to come by. It is generally not used in jewellery, assuming due to the rather unusual nature of how the product came into being. Wearing a stone made of “sperm whale vomit” may be a good talking point, but could also be a social faux-pas! It is popularly confused with amber and is sometimes called French amber jaune.

  AMBERINE – misleading name for a yellow-green Moss Agate. The name also relates to a variety of yellow to yellow-green Chalcedony found in Death Valley, California.
