Amber is fossil resin, it's not mentioned in ME. In fact nobody seems interested, probably because of its obscure origins. A mysterious lost pine forest somewhere in the Baltic (or so we are led to believe). Apparently it gets washed up on beaches and rivers along the east coast.....

A common area for finds is Hampshire, which leads those in the know to suggest one directional trade between the east and Hampshire.
In Denmark, amber is found primarily along the west coast of Jutland (Juteland)
Jet the so-called "black amber" is a a variety of lignite coal, you can shape it using sand and water, one form of polishing is by rubbing its surface with red ochre, a substance also related to jet.
So we have Amber in Hampshire.......
