AMBER STONE
What Is Amber?
Amber is not a gemstone in the traditional sense—it is fossilized tree resin that has been treasured for thousands of years. Formed over 40 million years ago from ancient conifer trees that once grew around the Baltic Sea, Amber carries with it both natural beauty and deep history. Its warm glow ranges from golden honey to deep cherry and even rare shades of green, blue, and milky butterscotch. Because of its organic origins, no two pieces are ever alike—each stone is a one-of-a-kind gift from nature.
Amber is often called “Gold of the North” and has been used for jewelry, healing, and protection since ancient times. Some pieces even contain remarkable inclusions of plants, air bubbles, or prehistoric insects, perfectly preserved in resin for millions of years—like tiny time capsules from the past.
Key Features of Amber:
- Natural Origin: Fossilized tree resin from prehistoric forests, often 40+ million years old.
- Unique Colors: Found in shades of cognac, honey, lemon, cherry, green, milky, and rare blue.
- Prehistoric Inclusions: Some Amber contains ancient plants, air bubbles, or insects—true treasures of natural history.
- Lightweight & Comfortable: Unlike heavier gemstones, Amber is soft, warm to the touch, and easy to wear all day.
- Warm Glow: Known for its golden radiance that seems to capture sunlight itself.
- Baltic Heritage: The Baltic Sea region is the world’s most famous and authentic source of genuine Amber.
What is Amber Stone?
Amber stone is not a mineral or crystal—it’s fossilized tree resin formed over millions of years. Most of the world’s amber comes from coniferous trees that lived in prehistoric forests more than 40 million years ago. Over time, the tree resin hardened through a natural process involving heat, pressure, and the passage of time, resulting in the translucent, glowing material we now call amber.
The most prized source of amber stone is the Baltic region, especially Lithuania, Latvia, Poland, and Russia. Baltic amber is known for its exceptional quality, variety of colors, and natural inclusions that make each piece unique.
Why Amber Stone is Special
Amber isn’t just beautiful—it’s meaningful. Because of its natural origin, amber is often associated with healing, protection, and vitality. It’s warm to the touch, lightweight, and often contains prehistoric inclusions like ancient insects, plant material, or air bubbles—making each piece a true relic of the Earth’s ancient past.
