Polish amber is the world's most prized — and Gdańsk is its global capital

Polish amber is considered the world's finest and most sought-after, with Gdańsk recognised as the global capital of the trade. The TV programme "W Polskę na weekend" explores the "gold of the north" region, guided by Tomasz Ołdziejewski, known as the "Amber Man." Collectors describe trading in amber as akin to gambling, given how dramatically specimen values can fluctuate.
