Caution! Most of these pieces sold as columbian amber is actually copal! Yes   A few years back I read a report that a group of scientists dug a bunch of test pits in various regions and all of the material they recovered and tested was copal.  Columbian copal typically range from 10,000 years to 1 mill. With some being even younger….
