Don't worry, I was only half serious! That is why I added so much smilies 
It is just fun to raise some of these topics... But I am sure Q.G. gets the irony and joking in it...

In amounts large enough for all of us? For all those old masters' paintings?
Do think this through, Marco...
But that's all academic.
There was no amber in those paintings.
And you can't find amber at the Dutch coast.

I fully agree, it was umber, not amber, in those paintings...

Fun thread, but as said earlier Amber could have been used in the varnish. After all, Amber in its fresh state is related to pine resin, sap or turpentine. The terms for Amber and Ambergis were the same until about 1400 and references to that period or earlier are often ambiguous.
In any case, fresh amber is sap and dry sap is amber in simple terms. Dissolving Amber in a solvent will create a varnish. Originally, Amber was called ηλεκτρον (electron) and the terms were gradually merged for both Ambergis and Amber calling them both Amber, and then the terms diverged as I note above.
I believe that both Umber and Amber may have been used in these earlier paintings, but for different purposes.

PE, you are right that fresh pine resin is still used as a painting varnish, it is the stuff I called "Damar". However, I think - in general - the term "Amber" is today only used for the more or less "fossilized" hardened variant, the ones used as gem stones, and known to sometimes contain tens of millions of years old fossils of insects etc. Like those famous pictures of amber with millions of years old mosquitoes.
I don't think the term "amber" is in general use for fresh dried pine resin today, where again the term "resin" or "damar" are more common and avoid the confusion with the "fossilized" variant.

You're quite right, Marco.
But then, everybody lies, right?
