Amber is lightweight and doesn’t feel cold against the skin like some minerals.
Over time, its color becomes deeper and the bead patterns more pronounced. This is because amber is an organic gemstone, much like coral.
In many Asian cultures, amber is considered one of the treasures of Buddhism. Buddhists—and not only they—believe that amber is a gemstone with a soul. It calms the mind and supports focus during meditation.

What is amber?
Baltic amber, also known as succinite, originates from various now-extinct conifer species, primarily Pinus succinifera, with an estimated 350 different types. Among all amber types, Baltic amber has the highest content of succinic acid—up to 8% of its total weight.
The richest amber deposits are believed to be in the Kaliningrad region, as well as northern Poland, Lithuania, and along the Baltic Sea coast. Its age is estimated to be between 28 and 54 million years—older than the Baltic Sea itself.
Under its yellow-brown oxidized crust, Baltic amber can be transparent, semi-transparent, or completely opaque, known as milky amber. It offers a full range of colors, from snow white to beige, lemon yellow, honey, orange, red, and brown. Polish scientist Adam Chetnik described around 200 variations in his Small Dictionary of Amber Varieties.
But the beauty of this organic gemstone doesn’t end with color and shape. Nature truly outdid itself—within amber, it “painted” thousands of unique, breathtaking patterns. These natural masterpieces could easily be displayed in the Louvre alongside the world’s most celebrated artworks.
