Dear All
Have received the following enquiry, but not entirely certain as to best response - Short of saying 'yes, it's possible and yes it's probably imported but I've no idea as to where from.'
Any ideas gratefully acknowledged off list at [log in to unmask]
Apologies for cross posting
Thanks to all

Whilst getting coal from my bunker yesterday I found two relatively large pieces of what at first I took to be molten plastic.
On further inspection they appear to be chunks of amber.
I've heard of amber being found in coal deposits in USA, Canada and New Zealend. Not at all sure where our coal originated but I imagine it is imported.
I'm attaching a photo which I hope helps.
