.5" pieces of Mexican Amber
Mineral Information:
Amber is a fossilized tree resin that has been prized for its beauty and rarity for thousands of years. It is formed when resin from trees hardens and becomes buried under layers of sediment, where it undergoes a process of polymerization and becomes fossilized over millions of years.
Amber can range in color from pale yellow to dark brown, and may contain inclusions of plant and animal material that were trapped in the resin when it was still liquid. Some types of amber may also contain air bubbles or other inclusions that create interesting patterns or optical effects.
Amber is found in many parts of the world, but the most well-known deposits are located in the Baltic region of northern Europe.
Amber has a Mohs Hardness of 2-2.5
Mineral Care:
Amber is generally safe to handle. Consumption and being used in gem waters, especially in the case of rough specimens, is not advised. The Mohs hardness being 2 to 2.5 means that Amber is a soft gemstone that must be handled with care to avoid scratching or damaging it.
Metaphysical Properties:
Amber is said to assist in absorbing negative energy and to release soothing energy. This helps to calm the nerves and enliven our lives like a sunny day.
