Online Shop - Amber Jewellery

Amber is fossilized tree resin. Examples of it have been appreciated for its colour and natural beauty since the Neolithic times, and worked as a gemstone since antiquity. Amber is used in jewellery and as a healing agent in folk medicine.

Because it originates as a soft, sticky tree resin, amber sometimes contains animal and plant material as inclusions. Amber occurring in coal seams is also called resinite, and the term ambrite is applied to that found specifically within New Zealand coal seams.
