What is Baltic Amber?
Amber is solidified resin of conifers. According to the
scientists, Baltic Amber formed 50 million years ago during Eocene epoch, when
the massive subtropical forests were growing in The Baltic Sea
Catchment Basin. Fallen resin with the lapse of time has naturally solidified
and deteriorated into amber due to processes of oxidation and polymerization.
Most of it have been collected by the running rivers and drifted to the Baltic
Sea. Plants, insects and other wildlife tailings have been adhered to the
drifting resin. Plants and organisms inside amber are called inclusions. It is
believed that during Eocene epoch subtropical forests could produce
approximately 100,000 tons of amber. Baltic Amber consist a great amount
of succinate (amber acid), therefore it is called succinite.
