📜 General information:

📌 What is amber?

Nature: Amber is not strictly speaking a mineral, as it does not have a crystalline structure. It is a fossilized plant resin, often derived from ancient conifers.

Age: Most ambers are 30 to 90 million years old (Cretaceous or Tertiary).

Color: Honey yellow, orange, brown, sometimes green, red, blue (rare).

Transparency: From translucent to opaque.

🌍 Origin and deposits:

Baltic Amber (Poland, Lithuania, Russia, Latvia) – The most famous and used in jewelry.

Dominican Republic – Amber often lighter and with more inclusions (insects, plants).

Mexico, Burma, Canada, Myanmar, Sicily – Other known sources.

🧪 Physical characteristics:

Hardness (Mohs): 2 to 2.5 → quite soft.

Density : About 1.05 to 1.10 → floats in salt water.

Melting point : Melts at around 250°C, may ignite.

Electricity : Becomes electrified by friction (the origin of the word "electricity" comes from ēlektron , the Greek word for amber).

🧬 Fossil inclusions:

Amber is known for sometimes containing insects, spiders, seeds, or pieces of plants trapped before fossilization. These inclusions are of major scientific importance (paleontology, evolution).

💎 Use

Jewelry: Necklaces, pendants, pearls, decorative objects.

Perfumery: Imitation of ambergris (different from fossil amber).

Traditional medicine (lithotherapy): Often used for its supposed soothing and protective properties.
