So What Is All The Fuss About Baltic Amber?
Baltic Amber is approximately 40 million to 60 million years old and it has been treasured by many ancient cultures for both it's protective and decorative qualities.
Commonly thought to have formed from tree sap, amber is actually created from the tissue of trees that has been exuded due to either damage to the tree or because of radical climate change thousands of years ago.
Amber is unique in the fact that it is one of the few precious substances on earth we consider to be a gem that has an organic origin, as opposed to most precious and semi-precious gemstones that originate from a mineral.
For this reason, the amber stone will actually burn when thrown into a hot fire and it exudes a resinous smell and aromatic smoke! When rubbed vigorously, small light objects will actually be attracted to amber as if by magic!
For all these reasons, along with it's natural beauty, amber continues to be used widely in jewelry designs to this day, and jewelrymandave has added a huge selection of exciting jewelry designs featuring the unique amber stone at Salerno's Jewelry Store, so stop by today and check out the fascinating world of amber jewelry!
