Amber is thought to carry the energy of warm sunlight within its translucent depths.
Amber reflects the very beginnings of the planet Earth, for it is the fossilized resin that dripped from the pine trees of the forests that grew in the Tertiary Period, over 40 million years ago. Damaged trees leaked resins that fell to the forest floor and were then covered by deep sediments of sands and gravel. After millions of years, erosion washed the amber nodules down to the sea, where they eventually washed up on coastlines. It often contains fragments or complete specimens of insects and plants that accidentally fell into the sticky resin millions years ago.
Amber is found in the various parts of the world, including Germany, Canada and the USA, but the BALTIC SEA coasts are its most famous source.

Myths and History
Because it is light and easily worked, amber has been a valuable jewel for thousands of years. Classical poets described amber as the tears of gods, or as the essence of the rays of the setting sun washed up on the seashore. Amber was also prized in the Roman Empire. The Emperor Nero even mounted an expedition to the Baltic coast to gather his own supplies. In many ancient civilizations, amulets and medicines were commonly made with amber, as it dissolves readily in alcohol.

Spiritual and Healing Properties
Amber rubbed against wool or silk becomes electrically charged. It is thus no surprise that it benefits the electrical systems of the body. Amber can improve the functions of the brain and nervous system, release anxiety, and increase clarity of mind. It can also be useful for detoxification, and can alleviate depression.
Amber necklaces are protective when worn. It is a potent amulet against negative magic. You can also have children wear amber beads to guard their health, as countless others have done in many parts of the world. Or place a bit in the child’s bedroom.
If you feel you are being subjected to heavy negativity, light a white candle and place it on the ground or floor. Sit before it with a handful of small beads, and using them, create a circle around yourself. Sit within the circle while restoring your energy and closing yourself off to any and all outside influences. Repeat as necessary. Another protective use is to place small beads or pieces into a bath of warm water. Soak in the tub until the water cools. Then retrieve the amber, towel off, and carry or wear one of the beads until your next bath.
Amber has long been regarded as being highly sensual and magnetic. It is worn to attract love.
In our quest to rid our bodies of disease, amber plays an important role. Beads of amber are worn around the neck as a general protector of our health and to relieve or cure existing conditions. It has been worn for the prevention or relief of convulsions, deafness, insanity, sore throat, earache, headache, toothache, asthma, rheumatism, digestive troubles, and almost every internal ailment. A ball of amber held in the hand reduces fever.
Because it is often translucent, or even transparent, amber is worn or carried to strengthen the eyes. Looking through a piece of amber is thought to do the same.
