Amber
Warm honey, golden and cognac tones with a soft, resinous glow. Some pieces are clear enough to see through, while others are cloudy, and many hold tiny bubbles or flecks.
About amber
Amber is not a mineral but fossilised tree resin, millions of years old. It is very light and feels warm to the touch. Much amber comes from the Baltic region, and some pieces hold ancient insects or plant fragments trapped in the resin.
In crystal tradition amber is said to be a warm, sunny stone that brings brightness and comfort. It has been worn as a protective charm for thousands of years and is traditionally linked with vitality and good cheer.

Amber is often carried in a pocket, kept close as a comfort stone, or placed in a sunny spot in the home. Its warm colour and light weight make it a lovely gift.
Care
Amber is very soft and scratches easily. Keep away from heat, perfume, sprays and cleaning products. Wipe with a soft damp cloth and store on its own.
