How do you actually identify true raw amber correctly?

So I picked up several chu ks of what I assumed to be Amber from the beach last week but am just confused with the identification as different sources keep giving different answers

Thoughts?

I found some other big chunks (like heavier than 60+ grams) as well but theyre covered in coal/bark. This tiny one looks nice

Found it on Muara Beach in Brunei. Is it Amber or just some resin/agate/petrified wood etc ?

Did I find real amber? Found this at Berakas or Tanjung Batu beach in Brunei

It feels so light for its size (Its around 30-40ish grams), emits white smoke + interesting smell when I burned it with lighter a bit. Wonder what it could be worth🤔

Is Estonia amber Baltic amber?

I’m sorry if this is a stupid question. I purchased some Estonia amber from a local gem store. Was just curious if this is considered Baltic amber, as I have heard about that before. Also, how old would amber be from the Estonia region?
