I have learned that the Great Lakes of North America are similar to the Baltic Sea. I´ve got the impression that even their water is shivering like amber. So, what about those honey-coloured stones over there?

No, I grew up in Michigan and I've never heard of any amber being found there. The water in the Great Lakes definitely doesn't look like amber either. It's better now, but Lake Erie used to be so polluted that it caught fire. Literally. (I think that was in the 70's.)

Aren't broken beer bottles amber in colour? If so,
YES, you can find amber on the beaches of the Great Lakes.

I have never found any.
I lived by the shores of both Lake Michigan and Lake Ontario.

amber is just petrified tree sap, so i guess it could be found near the great lakes.

Last time I checked Amber is derived from sap from a tree. you probably won't find it on a beach.
