Amber is the hardened resin of ancient pine trees which is 34-60 million years old, and can include fossilised insects and plant material which cab make it quite valuable.

Amber has been used traditionally as a remedy in many European cultures for soothing pain and inflammation. It has also been used historically in the form of a tincture as a general tonic for health and wellbeing, as well as beauty and longevity.

People have been making amber jewellery for over 10,000 years, which could make it the first gem material ever used. A constant wonder to the eyes, it typically occurs in various shades of yellow, orange, and brown colours. These can be known as Green Amber, Butter Amber (or butterscotch), Honey Amber, Cognac Amber, Red Amber and Cherry Amber. On the other hand, pieces with green, blue, or violet tints due to extreme fluorescence are rare.

Amber also has a wide range of transparency. The transparent material is used almost exclusively for jewellery. Amber is often tumble polished and used for beads, pendants, earrings, and rings. Faceted pieces are rare. The opaque material is frequently carved into artistic ornaments and inlays, as well as practical objects such as pipe stems and umbrella handles.

One of the notable properties of Amber is that it is high in Succinic Acid. This acid has analgesic properties that may assist in pain relief. The highest concentration of this acid will be in the stone’s outer layer, so when you wear amber against your skin, your body temperature will heat the amber causing it to secrete oil. The oil will be absorbed through the skin and can enter the bloodstream and its anti-inflammatory properties and analgesic properties may be experienced.

Amber has a cleansing effect on one’s energy, helping to clear toxicity and can transmute negative energy and heavier emotions such as grief. It uplifts your mood and enlivens your spirit with its sunny and warm energy, which makes Amber a fantastic choice to wear on days where you may need some extra energy or protection,

It is recommended to wear Amber when mental or physical health is ailing, or when recovering from illness or injury, as Amber may support healing and convalescence. It has also helped some people with better sleep as it encourages renewal and restoration of our body and energy.

Amber may also be used for manifesting prosperity, and clearing blocks to success.
