Well, according to the year-old El País article this is a lazy rehash of, she died in 1991. It was hers the rest of her life, but she never knew what it was either.
It was one of her descendants that figured out it was amber and offered to sell it to the government. Doesn’t sound like it was compulsory, either. Amber is something of a national pride thing in Romania, so selling to the government may have had a bit of patriotic reasoning to it as well, like if an American wanting to sell an heirloom of historical value made sure it went to the Smithsonian or National Archive instead of disappearing into some anonymous private collector’s horde.
