Like diamonds, true amber takes millions of years to be created. Amber is the ancient resin of pine trees once it has gone through a number of changes over a period of tens of millions of years. The age of Amber can be between 35 and 140 million years old and can be found in many countries, but the Baltic Sea region contains 95% of the world's amber and baltic amber is known for its beauty and quality. Its color, warmth and electrical properties have earned it a reputation as a protective stone. Calming, it can absorb negative energy and help the body to heal itself. It supports a sunny disposition, happiness, courage, good luck, manifestation, and helps to dispel depression.
