Light exposure for kauri gum

From: Joanna Morton <*joannam<-a*> Date: Thursday, May 5, 2005 · joannam<-a

Our museum intends to include a number of artefacts carved from the
fossilised resin of the native NZ kauri tree (ie a type of copal) in
a permanent exhibition.

Does anyone have information or suggestions regarding recommended
lux levels and display periods for kauri resin/copal artefacts?
