The keys for yesterday's #listening_quiz ⬆️ about amber:
Amber is the common name for fossil resin. It occurs in different colours, and is widely used for making jewellery and other ornaments. Although not mineralized, amber is sometimes considered as a gemstone.
Most of the world's amber is in the range of 30–90 million years old. The oldest amber originates from the carbon time and has an age of approximately 345 million years.
Amber is formed from resin coming out of certain trees. Many trees produce resin, but usually it is broken down by physical and biological process - by weather and microorganisms. For resin to survive long enough to become amber, it must resist such forces, or be produced under conditions that exclude them.
Amber can be found at the east coast of the USA, in Canada, Burma, Mexico, Lebanon, Borneo, Romania and Sicily and other places. There is Amber in Mexico and in the Caribbean, mainly in the Dominican Republic. But most of these offer by far a smaller yield than amber found in the Baltic Region around the Baltic Sea.

Remember, we started talking about Salvador Dalí yesterday?)
Salvador Dalí, born in 1904, in Figueres, Spain, was a renowned surrealist artist known for his eccentric and imaginative works. His most famous painting, "The Persistence of Memory," features melting clocks and epitomizes his unique style.
Dalí had a pet ocelot named Babou, which he often took to restaurants and public places, drawing considerable attention. He also liked to be seen with other exotic animals.
He was deeply influenced by theories on the unconscious, which is reflected in his works. Dalí passed away in 1989, leaving behind a legacy of innovative art.
