amber: Amber is a hard, inflammable, bituminous substance, of a beautiful yellow colour, very transparent, and susceptible of an exquisite polish. When rubbed it is highly endowed with electricity; a name which the moderns have formed from its Greek name ηλεκτρον:. But, as amber becomes dim as soon as it feels the fire, and is speedily consumed, it is probable that the original chashmal: which Bochart derives from the Chaldee nechash: copper, and melala: gold, was a mixed metal, similar to that which the Greeks called ηλεκτρον:, electrum:, as the LXX and Vulgate render, from its resemblance to amber in colour.
