Worth up to 400 thousand dollars .. He swam amber "and the relevance of the unheard of male"

Saeed Dahri - Doha

Abu Saif passes his beads in his hands and he appears to have lost his heart after he turned down a offer of four hundred thousand dollars to sell them from the intensity of what we have woven between him and boundless love. "As the lover chooses his beloved among the thousands of women, love fell on my swimming pool, So you do not leave me. "

"I refuse a second marriage to her, so how can I leave her alone and be overflowing with her," said Shamlan the Muslim, who is worried that one of his Polish pearls, which he designed himself and touched with gold and precious stones, would make of his unshakable wife.

Abu Saif - who is over eight and a half decades - believes that the hobby of the rosary is "fair and proud, not arrogant." It is like a pen and a button that elevates the status of man among members of his clan and enhances his belonging to the traditions of his community, regardless of their religious value. Of its use.

Abu-Saif, like amateurs, merchants and amber fans, went down to eighty suites at the amber swimming pool, which was hosted by the General Establishment of the Cultural District of Qatar's capital Doha for three days, collecting more than two tons of amber stones and beads.

Scarcity and quality
The price of amber is determined by its quality, quality and history. The higher the material is, the greater the value in the present time. According to the Kuwaiti trader Abdulwahab al-Jaddai, hobbyists often accept the type of "kamel al-mussal" of Polish origin, ranging from 500 to 700 riyals ($ 137-192) per gram.

However, there are Polish materials that do not exceed 120 Qatari riyals (32 dollars), some of which are exposed to a certain temperature to earn the color of the foot and seem to be worn, sold at a high price like an original, but many hobbyists discover this manipulation with their sense of taste or through laboratories to detect .

The foot of the ores is a key factor in determining the quality of amber, such as the Kaliningrad amber, which dates back to more than 40 million years, was shown by fossils and geological surveys, said Marius Kliwinski, vice president of the International Association of the Eagles.

The German amber, whose color changes with the foot and becomes nests and points like the birds of the qata, is one of the best selling, with an average price of 15 thousand Qatari riyals (4120 dollars). The novelty is that he had already sold a rosemary of 190 (About 52190 dollars) last year in Doha.

Despite the fact that hobbyists are keen to buy more than $ 20,000, the pavilion has preferred to offer its products for show only, such as the Moscow Museum Pavilion, which offers an old contract from Kaliningrad for $ 200,000 and other contracts of more than $ 50,000. With rare pieces, contracts and swamps found only in these two countries.

One of these wings is an amber stone in one of the wings weighing 2.50 kilograms and worth 150,000 Qatari riyals (about $ 4,200). The owner does not want to cut them. The largest stone is 13 kilos in a London museum.

Stages of Manufacturing
Ali al-Kuwari, the owner of a workshop for the manufacture and sale of oil, tells the stages of industrialization, starting with the dissection of the stone and then the process of expression, which is longitudinal cutting of the material. And the completion of the "ownership" (knot knotted with the head of the rosary). The latter consists of seven pieces according to the Arabic form and five in the Turkish form, and may increase or decrease according to the desire of the hobbyist or buyer.

In the majority of the amber workshops, Turkish craftsmen are known for their mastery and accuracy, using very precise machines that are no longer available except in the auction market, which is the same machine that manufactures the parts of the famous Rolex watch engines.

It is not surprising that these people masturbate in the accuracy of production and compete in signing their products with signs and forms that reveal the identity of the manufacturer or trader. The manufacture of a medium rosary takes only two days, and may increase by length of the bead or the number of beads and beads and the quality of the witness.

Just as the shape and pattern of the beads changed, their numbers were limited to 33, 45, 66 or 99, and became dependent on the stone piece of the amber.

Despite the multiplicity of motives and temptations, the exhibition received a large number of visitors, leaving a wide impression on the features of beauty scattered in the exhibition of amber colors and a pleasant fragrant of stones, and consistent with the movements of fingers running beads beads.

The exhibition was attended by seven countries, led by Russia and Poland, the most productive material of amber in the world, in addition to the countries of Qatar and Kuwait, the most active in the popularity of this article.

Although poets sing ancient times Amber or Amber, as mentioned in the book "the flower of the literature and the fruit of the hearts" of Abu Ishaq al-Qairwani and the book "end of the arts in literature" of Nuweiri and others, but they failed to reflect the emotional relationship that was associated with his race, which describes Abosif spiritual love , Because the person chooses his rosary from among the tens of the morning, and remains in his place and can not be separated in his solution and his migration.
