Although not mineralized, amber is often considered a gemstone and has been included in many pieces of jewellery throughout the ages. Amber is actually fossil tree resin, which is the semi-solid amorphous, organic substance that is secreted in pockets and canals through the plant. It is not (as it is often assumed to be) tree sap.
Amber occurs in a range of different colours, varying from a whitish yellow through a pale lemon shade to a brown, almost black variety. More uncommon colours include red (or cherry) amber, green amber and even blue amber, a rare and sought after colour choice.
About 92% of the world's extractable amber is located in the Kaliningrad region of Russia on the Baltic Sea. Most amber dates from between 35 to 40 million years ago. Some amber is considered to be up to 345 million years old.
How to care for your Amber:
Clean your amber with lukewarm water and mild soap. Do not use chemical cleaners. Shine with a bit of vegetable oil. Store your jewellery separately so that it does not scratch, and put it on only after using your cosmetics and hair spray.
