<p class="MsoNormal">Hey all,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We have some amber in our collection that was stored in vials and immersed in some sort of oily liquid. We were thinking it may be mineral oil? Whatever it is, it seems to have eaten through some of the plastic vials, and it’s quite messy.
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Has anyone experienced this, and have any idea how to clean it off without damaging the amber? Should it even be removed?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Cheers,</p>
