l About burmite Myanmar(Burma) amber：

TheHistory ofburmite

Burmitecomes from northern Myanmar (formerly Burma) and the neighbouring countries; ithas been mined, as an artistic material, since the time of the Chinese Handynasty (ca. 200years BCE). The Chinese called it hu-pe and believed it tocontain the soul of a tiger. It was considered a symbol of courage and valour.Over the centuries, the Chinese had a trade monopoly on Burmese amber, it waseven referred to as “Chinese amber.” In 1613, the Portuguese Jesuit AlvarezSemedo was the first European to write about the Burmese amber mines but in thelater years there were no further accounts about them. The situation changedsignificantly after the Anglo-Burmese Wars (1826-1885) and Burma’sincorporation into British India, which is how an interest in the new kind of fossilresin arose in Europe. In 1835, Britain’s Captain Hannay was the first toobtain a permit from the local authorities to visit amber mines in Burma and ayear later he described his experiences. But the knowledge about Burmese amberbegan to flourish owing to the German researcher Fritz Noetling. It was he thatdescribed in 1892 how it was mined by means of wooden hoes and bamboo basketsand gave samples from the town of Maingkwan to the Gdańsk-based pharmacist Otto Helm. Based on his research,Helm found this amber to be different from others that he was familiar with andwas the first to call it burmite (1894). Noetling also brought burmite productsto Europe (for example earplugs, beads, religious figurines). A heateddiscussion about the age of burmite began in the early 20th century. Based oninsect studies, in 1917 T.D.T. Cockerell (see Poinar at al. 2008) was thefirst to suggest that it was a Cretaceous resin although other researchersclaimed the Tertiary age of the burmite-bearing rock. Due to the domesticunrest, burmite mines were closed down in 1936. This situation had continuedfor more than 60 years until 1999, when due to the gradual politicalchange the amber mines were reopened. Initially, they were available only to USand Canadian companies but after the economic sanctions were lifted they alsobecame accessible to international amber researchers and for commercial mining.As a result, the 21st century has brought flourishing research on burmite and aconsiderable increase in its production. The most interesting discoveries fromthis period include those made by Lambert and Wu (see Poinar et al. 2008), whodesignated burmite-’s parent tree as the araucaria in 2002, while Tappert atal. (2013) described Cupressaceae as its botanical source (see Vávra 2015)and Cruickshank and Ko’s research (2003) confirmed Crockerell’s thesisabout its Cretaceous origin. Intensified research on Burmese amber is yieldingsurprising discoveries, for example the finding of the oldest grass fossil or multipleanimal inclusions. IR absorption spectroscopy tests have demonstrated thatburmite yields the spectrum of romanite. Outside of Romania and Burma,romanite can also be found for example in Turkey and Sakhalin(Kosmowska-Ceranowicz 2015). Mining Burmite mining is associated mainly withthe Hukawang Valley, Kachin Province. The region’s best-known mines include:Maingkwan, the largest mine from the colonial times, as well as Tanai and NoijeBum. Another well-known mine is Inzutzut located 90 km east towards the borderwith China. Last year, however, a new mining location was reported: Hti Lin,Magway Province. An international team of scientists with Arunas Kleismantas(2015) from Vilnius University reports that about 100 miners (mainly farmers)produce amber from 20-30 shafts across an area of ca. 10 km². His studies of IRspectra show unequivocally that samples from the Magway Province minecorrespond to the samples from the Kachin Province

known todate. This gives us hope that present-day Myanmar (Burma) has more as-yet undiscovered burmite deposits. The beauty of burmiteBurmite is a resin which, together with the sediments in which it ended up, hadbeen altered in the mountain range uplift processes under the influence ofincreased pressure and temperature. That is why, despite being harder thansuccinite, in general it is highly cracked internally. This is where the reasonfor using pressed burmite in China may have come from (Kosmowska-Ceranowicz2012). Natural burmite figurines, just as pressed burmite beads, have similarfeatures to succinite: they are easily workable and durable. On polishedsurfaces of the yellow varieties, the weathering process first shows onlythrough a change in colour which, affected by the air, light and changes inhumidity, darkens to become red and shades of brown.

Summary ofburmite

If we compare the hardness of burmite (2,5-3) with thehardness of succinite (2-3), which noticeably influences the degree of itsworkability, a wide range of naturally occurring burmite colours (from yellow,almost transparent to deep red) and the relatively lower price, at least forthe time being, competition with succinite seems to be a given. We also need toremember that burmite has strong cultural and historical roots in the Chinesemarket and even today indirectly meets the demands of the Eastern markets.
