Abstract

Baltic amber shows a greenish photoluminescence upon UV illumination. When amber is dissolved in organic solvents such as ethanol, an emission spectrum is observed, which resembles that of pyrene. At higher concentrations, pyrene undergoes an aggregation, which shifts the emission to longer wavelength. In solid amber, an analogous aggregation apparently takes place. Depending on the size of the solid amber particles, a bluish (lambda(max) = 450 nm) to greenish (lambda(max) = 480 nm) luminescence appears.
