History
No other amber from around the world has the properties of Baltic amber. Baltic amber is the fossilized resin or sap from extinct prehistoric coniferous pine trees which formed a huge forest 40 - 60 million years ago at the present location of the Baltic Sea.
This lightest of organic gems sometimes has inclusions of entrapped flora, fauna, and insects and provides a connection with our past. Stone age worshipers, early Greeks, and Romans believed that wearing amber kept one healthy and young.
