Amber
What is Amber
Because ambers began forming about 45 million years ago, the original geological conditions for the formation of ambers no longer exists, which is why all natural amber and its elements are such a rarity, and fine ambers even more scarce. Furthermore, ambers are considered non-regenerative resources, with each spent piece, it is one piece less in the world. Thus, the prices of amber rise annually, not only making them a precious stone with prolonged collection value, but one of longtime monetary value as well. Its rising value has made it a forty plus million year old treasure and deemed as the northern gold and sun, a historical gem. Ambers mainly consists of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, with a trace of sulphur. It is fossilized tree resin (not sap), which has been appreciated for its color and natural beauty since Neolithic times, commonly known as resin or carbon fossils.
