It could have been ensconced in velvet.
Did this happen before West Burma became West Myanmar?

I'd like to confer the Order of the Laurales, and a hardy handshake, to our new sheriff.

Somewhere out there, a “woke” person is thinking that they would like to smoke or sniff some of that stuff.

Technically I think it was encased in pitch, only later did that pitch become amber.

Pitch is a product of petroleum or coal tar and is a distillate of those substances. Amber is a fossilized tree resin. Not the same.
