925 Sterling Silver Baltic Amber Jewellery - Shop

Baltic amber is a fossilized tree resin found in the Baltic Sea region of Europe. It's a type of organic gemstone that's known for its unique properties and distinctive colours.

Formation
Baltic amber is the result of ancient forests and the resin of trees that lived millions of years ago. Unlike other gemstones, it's not formed under intense heat and pressure
 
Colour
Baltic amber is usually opaque and can be found in many different shades, including yellow-orange-brown, white, citrus yellow, brown, black, red, and green.
 
Succinic acid
Baltic amber contains a high concentration of succinic acid, a compound known for its therapeutic effects. When amber is worn on the body, the skin warms it and releases some of the succinic acid. 
 
Inclusions
Baltic amber can preserve articles that became trapped in history, such as insects, arachnids, lizards, dinosaur feathers, and birds.
 
Uses
Baltic amber has been used throughout history for various purposes, including jewellery, amulets, ornamental objects, and medicine.
