Diversity of Amber
Amber is a fossilized tree resin formed through natural polymerization of organic compounds and it is not uncommon to find insects inside yielding a perfectly preserved fossil. Amber can be found in nature in many shapes, sizes and colors which include a variety of shades of yellow, orange, red, white, brown, green, blue and black.
The color is related to the type of tree; recent pine trees have produced golden yellows, white, ivory-colors and occasionally a blue resin. The transparency of amber depends on its internal structure, ranging from clear to cloudy, due to the presence of abundant air bubbles and inclusions. The formation of these air bubbles still remains a mystery today.
The Baltic Sea Region
The Baltic Sea region has been the original source for Amber since Prehistoric times. Gemologists and jewelers desire Amber for its beauty and rarity. Amber consists of certain physical, healing and exclusive properties which contribute to its special mystique that has been enjoyed over the centuries. It is not surprising that Amber has been regarded as something extraordinary because of its warm touch and splendor.
Gold from the North
Although it is not known exactly when Baltic amber was first used, it can be linked to the Stone Age when it was used for decoration. Amber of Baltic origins have been found in Egyptian tombs that date back to 3200 B.C., establishing the archaeological barter and trade routes. European sea trade was dominated by the Vikings from 800-1000 A.D., with the “gold from the north” and the Baltic’s today continues to be a major exporter of this highly sought-after treasure we recognize today as Amber.
Amber as an alternative healing solution
Amber gives a soothing, light energy that is both calming and revitalizing. Amber is reputed to cleanse its environment by neutralizing negative energy which in turns allows the body to heal itself when afflicted by disease. Amber is associated with the solar plexus chakra and sacral chakra which is thought to be a nexus of metaphysical and/or biophysical energy residing in the human body as believed by followers of Hinduism and other related Asian cultures.
