Description
Amber is the hardened resin of ancient pine trees. Amber is nature’s time capsule. This fossilized tree resin contains remnants of life on earth millions of years ago. Amber can be white, yellow, and orange to reddish brown. Transparent amber is more valuable than cloudy material. However, interesting plant or animal inclusions add to the value of any amber specimen. Amber comes in more colors than just yellow and golden. It might also be white, yellow, and orange to reddish brown. Connoisseurs value reddish amber more than golden amber. Rare pieces can even be blue or green. Pieces which show an attractive bluish or greenish fluorescence can be highly valuable.
