Amber Gemstone & Information

Gemopedia™

Amber is the ancient fossilized resin of trees that grew in forests millions of years ago. Over the eons, chemical and physical changes occurred, fossilizing the resin to produce what we know today as amber. Research indicates that amber ranges from about two million to 360 million years in age, although most gem quality amber is between 10 million and 50 million years old. Hardened resin that is significantly younger than amber, is known as copal. Although the age boundary that differentiates amber from copal is still debated, copal is considered to be less than 10 million years old, with a large proportion being significantly younger.

Few gemstones display the rich colors of fall better than amber. Pair a bold amber necklace with a chambray shirt and earth-toned bottoms and for a 'Gram-able pumpkin patch ensemble. Going apple picking? Put an oversized amber ring on your finger for similarly stunning photo ops.

Autumnal brilliance doesn't mean amber gemstones aren't equally appropriate for the rest of the year, however. Find amber earrings in lighter tones to match your spring pastels.

The time it takes for tree resin to fossilize into amber is well worth the wait for the brilliantly unique gemstone that results. Nothing good comes easily, right? The use of amber for jewelry and other adornments dates back at least 13,000 years, when Neolithic people gathered it along the Baltic Sea, a region still known for the unique characteristics of amber found there.

Some even believe that amber jewelry has medicinal benefits, thanks to the presence of succinic acid, which has been credited with having numerous healing properties. No matter why you're buying amber, you can be assured you'll find the best deals from JTV.
