Check around the visible coal seams in Drumheller, Starland County, anywhere in Alberta really, and you'll probably find some Alberta Amber. Generally small pieces, the size of a pea or smaller, it's brittle and readily crumbles (so you have to be careful), but it does show some beautiful colors...
It could be heated, pressed, sealed in resin to make some interesting jewelry and rings (they do this to the lower grade Baltic amber), but Alberta classes it as a fossil and so collecting is forbidden. Shame. If it were coal, or oil and gas, or simply in coal, you could collect all you wanted and burn it, no problem, but the collecting of it to appreciate is prohibited by law.
