While often considered a gemstone, the glowing, warm amber is not a stone but a fossilized resin from ancient evergreen trees. The oldest amber discovered on Earth is about 320 million years old. Imagine the incredibly powerful energy this amber contains!
Young amber stones are less than 100,000 years old; the most valued pieces of amber are much older than that. (It takes a long time for the tree resin to become true amber.) Isn't it mind-boggling to know that the amber you just bought contains such old, wise energy?
Because amber has been used since ancient times in a variety of cultures—from Greece to Northern Europe—there are many properties attributed to this warm and powerful stone.
The most obvious quality of amber is its old, (very old!) energy. With it comes the accumulated wisdom of the earth and its natural kingdom. You can often see little insects trapped in the amber while it started as a tree resin; this gives the amber stone quite powerful magical properties.
