Turkish black amber named Oltutasi
Turkish black amber named Oltutasi in Turkish is one of the best examples of semi-precious stone to be found in the world. It is mainly extracted in the county of Oltu (Erzurum) and surrounding mountains, NE Turkey since the 18th century. At the present time, it is known as ornamental stone and its rosary is very famous worldwide. However, there is no modern review of geological properties of the Oltutasi and Oltutasi-bearing deposits. This paper filling this gap presents the results of original research on the subject. The Oltutasi-bearing deposit with Jurassic-Cretaceous is a flysch-character sequence, including limestone, sandstone interbedded with volcanic, sandstone, marl and claystone levels. The Oltutasi is seen as observed in the a form of lenses with 0.2 to 75 mm in thick within the Oltutasi-bearing geological material represented by pebble-sandstone-siltstone alternation, including sandy-claystone and marl levels. These lenses present the folded and faulted structures in parallel with the main county rocks due to the tectonic deformation affecting the region. It is seen observes from microphotographs that Oltutasi includes dominantly consists of carboncarnone and it includes has fracture filled with resinise and maceral such as fusinite and semi fusinite. Also, it is possible to observe there are that euhedral pyrite and hematite minerals generally finely disseminated in the Oltutasi organic matter.
