features and structures of primary material. Differences in color and
structure of amber are permitted and are not considered as a defect .
Such differences can appear between elements of one piece of amber and

Historically,
amber was used for healing as well as adornment. Ancient Roman and
Greek philosophers Calistratus, Hippocrates and Pliny, wrote about using
amber to cure a number of aliments ranging from madness to throat and
eye diseases.
Amber
contains between 3-8% succinic acid and many medicines that are used
today to cure migraines, irregular heartbeats, allergies, and even the
common cold, contain succinate. As with many traditional medicines
science has proven the validity of these ancient treatments, with many
people today still using amber to help calm teething babies, and as good
luck charms.
