About Amber

Amber is an ancient gemstone, thought to be formed approximately 50 million years ago. It is created through the fossilization of tree resin. It usually has a beautiful yellow-orange colour but can also range from yellow to almost black. Amber often includes fascinating inclusions of organic materials such as insects and plants. It measures 2.5 on the Mohs hardness scale.
