琥珀是很“涩”的物质,没有两块琥珀是完全相同的。
品种有金珀、虫珀、香珀、灵珀、石珀、花珀、水珀、明珀、蜡珀等,尤以含有完整昆虫或植物的琥珀为珍贵。

ApictureoftheAmberRoominStPetersburginRussia,CatherinePalace,琥珀屋TheAmberRoom,1709年,生性豪奢的普鲁士国王腓特烈一世命令当时普鲁士最有名的建筑师安休鲁达和戈德恩着手兴建“琥珀屋”(AmberRoom)。
完成后的琥珀屋面积约55平方米,共有全由琥珀制成的12块护壁镶板和12个柱脚,其上饰有银箔,可任意拼装成各种形状。
在当时,琥珀的价值为黄金的13倍,因此“琥珀屋”无论从材料的贵重程度还是工艺水平来说都堪称稀世奇珍,曾有“世界第八奇迹”之誉。
为了向俄国示好,加强两国间的军事同盟关系,腓特烈一世在1716年决定将琥珀屋赠予俄国的彼得大帝。
1717年,琥珀屋被运抵俄国的圣彼得堡。
后来,这座估计价值1亿5千万英镑的艺术珍品又被运到了圣彼得堡郊外沙皇村(后更名为普希金城)的凯瑟琳宫。
德国入侵前苏联后,凯瑟琳宫的工匠曾打算用纱和假墙纸把琥珀屋遮盖起来。
不过,攻占皇宫的德军识破了伪装,将琥珀屋拆开运到了德国。
人们知道德国人曾把琥珀屋收藏在东普鲁士的哥尼斯堡,但自那以后就再也没有人清楚它的下落。
60年来,人们有过各种各样的揣测,寻找,却始终不见其踪影。
充满传奇色彩的琥珀屋成了全世界最重要的失踪艺术品之一。
