Citizens, who believe that these stones are useful even though they have no place in medicine, use amber stones as rosaries and by hanging them around their necks. Rosary maker Mehmet Tosun said that amber stone is beneficial against stress and some diseases, and that babies do not experience toothache after 6 months of age.
Stating that the distinction between fake amber is made with salt water, Tosun said, “When it is left in salt water and sinks, it is fake amber, but if it does not sink and stays on the water, it is understood that it is original.”
Stating that most of the stones are thousand-year-old ambers, Tosun said, “They are ambers that grow in natural environments. “The best natural stone is drop amber,” he said.
