Amber necklace, Carnegie Museum of Natural History 10/6/2013

            Display reads:
There are two types of amber: succinite, from the Baltic sea region; and RETINITE, mostly from the Dominican Republic and Mexico. 
COPAL is a semi-fossilized resin sometimes substituted for amber.  It is softer than amber and readily cracks and crazes. 

"Carnegie Museum of Natural History (abbreviated as CMNH) located at 4400 Forbes Avenue in the Oakland neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA, was founded by the Pittsburgh-based industrialist Andrew Carnegie in 1896. It maintains an international reputation for research and is ranked among the top five natural history museums in the United States."  wiki
