➤ By Liz Oakes

Amber stone helps to balance the emotions, clear the mind and release negative energy. 

It is popular for users as it has marvelous metaphysical properties, that boost manifestation and ease stress by clearing phobias and fear. 

Amber is not strictly speaking a stone at all but is fossilized resin. Beautiful jewelry made from it resembles gemstones, so it is sold as a gemstone.

It has a strong psychic protection energy, and it is a lovely warm stone to wear. 

It is a powerful healer that gives the person who wears it a lovely sense of health and healing.  In the past it was commonly used in areas where it is found.

Those that used it and kept it on their body as jewelry or talismans would have been aware that it helped to improve their health.

History of Amber: Amber Stone Meaning

Although Baltic amber is well known, the history of amber includes many countries and cultures, not just those in the Baltic region.

Archaeologists have found many beautifully carved amber pieces in graves, dating back around 2000 b.c. or before.

Archeological finds made from this stone are well documented, and Amber stone artifacts and jewelry have been found in many places.

Although part of its use may be attributed to its beauty, its healing properties may have became clear once it was used.

The meaning of amber healing attributes has been well known as it has been in use since ancient times.

There has even been Amber discovered in Egyptian tombs, including that of Tutankhamen.

A well known Amber cup that may have been made in Britain was found at Hove near Brighton.

This may be because it was possibly a trade item that ended up in the hands of wealthy people.

Insects or Bugs in Amber Stone

Many of the artifacts made of amber had insects within them. If you look for them they are fairly easy to buy and it is quite astonishing to see them clearly visible, trapped in the stone.

In ancient times, the pieces containing insects were probably thought to have magical virtues, as they were carved into hunting talismans, worn to ensure safe and abundant hunting.

You may be able to find interesting things in the pieces you buy, including small bugs in amber, and sometimes ants, spiders or a dragonfly in amber.

Among the pieces I have obtained are pieces with termites and ants embedded in the amber stone and these are quite interesting.

Within this resin you will also find other things from nature, with a variety of leaves and other plant based material trapped in the stones.

You will notice inclusions from parts of the ancient trees, such as leaves, leaf mold and pine needles.

Where Does It Come From?

Amber is available from sources in quite a few countries, and depending on where it is found, the quality may vary.

It comes from Russia, Poland, Britain, Italy, Columbia and Germany and of course baltic amber.

It can be obtained reasonably easily, and comes in various shades from pale yellow through to a dark orange color as well as blue and black amber.

The traditional Amber color is middle of the range, and the finest specimens are fairly clear, although pieces of Amber may have inclusions of plant matter or insects within them.

Green amber may be natural, and the color can be anything from yellow green to a deeper greenish color.

Sadly most green amber jewelry sold is made from stone that has been through a process that creates the color artificially.

Baltic Amber is highly prized for its high quality. Polish craftsmen have long been reputed for making beautifully crafted pieces from it.

What Is The Origin Of Amber? 

Amber stone has an electrical charge when rubbed, and was called 'elektron' by the ancient Greeks, and this is thought to be the origin of the word electricity.

When looking to find out, what is the origin of Amber, the search goes back millions of years.

One of the areas where there has been a lot of research into this stone, is the Baltic regions where it has been found in quite large amounts.

Around 45 million years ago, pine trees in the Baltic regions, the Scandinavian countries, discharged resins. The amber resin from these trees went solid and later became fossilized.

What Is Amber Made Of?

Solidifying of the resin into stone happened over many, many thousands of years. If you are wondering what is amber made of, it is made from this resin.

The resin gradually moved over time from the pine forests and ended up close to the coastal regions, but from the coastal regions the resin again moved.

It ended up in the bottom of the sea where it fossilized. Much later it was brought to the surface by glaciers and deposited on the land, where it has been found since that time.

All of this process happened many thousands of years ago, evidenced by the fact that Baltic Amber jewelry dates back to well before Christ.
