Baltic Amber gorgeously carved with an amazing rose is a rare find. Perfect for an heirloom piece in your jewelry collection. Amber is the ancient fossilized resin of trees that grew in forests millions of years ago. Over the eons, chemical and physical changes occurred, fossilizing the resin to produce what we know today as amber. Research indicates that amber ranges from about two million to 360 million years in age, although most gem quality amber ranges from 10 million to 50 million years. While there is no clear cut consensus, many experts agree any hardened resin less than ten million years in age is considered copal.
In classical times, amber was used medicinally and was also believed to offer a magical light for the deceased as they progressed through the underworld. Given this association, amber was once believed to provide magicians and sorcerers with special powers.Other attributes associated with amber include love, strength, luck, healing, protection and the ability to calm stressed nerves.
