A rare material found in the gullets of Asaren Celpeze.
The most common colors are black, gray, brown, beige, and white. A very deep amber of intense black color will lighten over time to become dark gray, then light grey or silver, to become white. A dark brown piece will also evolve over time to become light brown, then beige or cream, and finally white. It very often forms a fine white crystallization on the surface of the piece (ambrein). Yellowish/golden or red/burgundy amber is sometimes found.
Fresh black amber is soft, but it is more common to find it in its hard form. The amber gray, brown, gray / silver or white is hard and brittle, that texture is not homogeneous, when it breaks inside appears granular. Touching the surface is waxy and if you handle it for a few minutes, it becomes slightly sticky to the heat of the hand. The ovoid or round kidneys have a denser and tighter texture than the coating that makes up a larger block. The texture of ambergris is never fibrous or translucent.
