Central Ridge Library

Community Room

Join the SETS Foundation to learn all about amber, how these gems form, and how to tell real from fakes!

Amber is a beautiful golden gem that forms from the fossilized resin of trees, and is most famous for preserving prehistoric plants, insects, feathers, and other souvenirs from the past. A piece of amber is a field trip back in time and has historically been used for jewelry. Not sure if your jewelry contains real amber? Bring it with you to this program and have it tested with a real amber test kit!

Seating is limited and registration is required. Please register with our online calendar, in person, or by calling us at (352) 746-6622.
