Amber stone is a miraculous work of nature, the beauty and mystery .
Million years ago large stands of forests in some parts of the world began to seep globs of sticky resin! This aromatic resin oozed down the sides of trees, as well as filling internal fissures, trapping debris, such as seeds, leaves, feathers and insects. As geologic time progressed the forests were buried and the resin hardened into a soft, warm, golden gem, known as amber. Amber is the fossilized resin of ancient trees which forms through a natural polymerization of the original organic compounds. Most of the world's amber is in the range of 30-90 million years old.
Baltic amber should be noted for the great variety of colour. Scientists count up to 250 different colours and shades of amber. Usually it is yellow but its numerous subtle shades can range from bright yellowish to dark brown, orange, reddish brown or almost white. Amber is not always of one colour: unique combinations of two or more colours and shades, patterns forming the most amazing compositions of art can be found.
