"Ilze Ozola from Ventspils often walks along the Ventspils embankment, and in the past her walks were successful - she returned home with pieces of amber in her hands. But last Sunday's walk turned out to be special - she found amber weighing 138 grams on the shore! "Today is the day. And I knew a couple of days ago that this would happen!" – Ilze joyfully wrote on Facebook.

"Today, I don’t know what to do with my happiness! Sing? Scream? Dance? Run? Should I pour some wine? Bake something special? Everything!"

It should be noted that seekers often confuse real amber with so-called false amber or white phosphorus, which can burn. Almost every year, someone gets burned on their hands from burning phosphorus. Phosphorus heats up very quickly and can ignite, for example, in a pocket. How to distinguish real amber from phosphorus? Real amber is shiny, but phosphorus is not shiny at all and has a greenish-yellow colour."

Amber hunters, especially Curonian, have a high risk of getting life-threating burns... because some amber is "fake". It's actually white phosphorus.

They used to give such "amber" jewellery to their enemies. :)

Are you muscular? If yes, then show it scare ts out of your enemies💪

My enemies are scared of me enough so that I don't have to undress. And I don't want to. Most of the time, it's pretty cold here. Although I have a summer portrait:

I love Kolkos ragas. It's the only place on Earth where you're surrounded by assholes only from one side.
