Amber is the fossilised resin of ancient pine trees. Our Amber comes from the Baltic regionbeing formed during the Eocene geological period about 44 million years ago.When the trees fell to the forest floor they were covered by layers of sediments and a process  known as molecular polymerization occured due to the heat and pressure applied by the overlying materials.

It was thought that the rays of the sun were captured in  Amber, what a lovely idea! Amber was called The Gold of the North due to its enticing golden hues. Amber was one of the commodities traded along the famous "Amber Road" which lead from the Baltic to the Mediterranean and then onto the " Silk Route" to the East.

A birthstone for Aries and Leo , Amber is said to promote courage, vitality and personal growth. It is thought to be a powerful healer and cleanser of body and mind, absorbing negative energy. Amber has long been used as an homeopathic cure as it contains high levels of succinic acid a natural anti inflammatory substance.
