What is Amber?

Amber is fossilized tree resin not sap, which as been appreciated for its color and natural beauty since Neolithic times. Sap is the fluid that circulates through a plant's vascular system, while resin is the semi-solid amorphous organic substance secreted in pockets and canals through epithelial cells of the plant. Word of (amber) the name is derived from the old Arabic word from (anbar). A million years ago large stands of forests in some parts of the world began to seep globs of sticky resin! This aromatic resin oozed down the sides of the trees, as well as filling internal fissures, trapping debris, such as leaves, feathers and insects.

What do we use amber for?

Amber is used as an ingredient in perfumes, as a healing agate in folk medicine, and also of jewelry as well. There are many classes of amber defined on the basis of their chemical constituents. In later days, from 1283 on, the Teutonic Knights, after returning from the crusades, became absolute rulers of Prussia and the Baltic sources of amber, as well as the manufacture of objects made of amber, punishing transgressors with death by hanging. For the next 500 years, amber was used again for mainly a religious purpose: Paternoster beads.
