Amber gemstone
Amber is one of the few gem materials not technically considered a mineral. Formed from fossilized tree resins 10 million to 100 million years ago, it is classified as an organic gem. Resin has been known to collect insects, moss, lichen, or leaves in its sticky clutches, preserving them in perfect splendour for thousands of years. Therefore it is very likely to find an insect inside the Amber gemstone. Unlike most gemstones, inclusions can add a great deal to the value of amber – especially if these inclusions are plants or insects that have been trapped inside. Being a gemstone of organic origins, amber requires some special but simple care and handling. Amber is a rather soft gemstone and can be easily scratched. It lends itself well to earrings and necklaces where contact with hard objects is minimized. Amber can be confused with citrine, fluorite, meerschaum, onyx marble, and ambroid.
Amber always feels warm when it is touched. When rubbed hard to a piece of clothes it becomes electrified and will pick up small objects such as pieces of paper. This electrical property, together with the insects inside some specimens, made amber a very popular stone to Greek and Romans. In fact, it is from the Greek name for amber that our word electricity derived.
