What is amber?

Baltic amber, also known as succinite, comes from various species of extinct conifers Pinus succinifera. It is estimated that there were around 350 species of conifers. Baltic amber has the highest proportion of succinic acid of all types. It makes up to 8% of its total weight.

The richest deposits are estimated to be in the Kaliningrad region, followed by northern Poland, Lithuania, and along the Baltic Sea coast. Its age is estimated to be approximately 28 to 54 million years. It is older than the Baltic Sea itself.

Baltic amber is usually transparent, semi-transparent, or completely opaque, known as milky, under a yellow-brown layer of oxidized crust. It offers a wide range of colors, from snow white to beige, lemon yellow, honey, orange, red, and brown. Polish scientist Adam Chetnik defined around 200 variations in his Small Dictionary of Amber Varieties.

But the diversity of this organic gemstone does not end with its colors and shapes. Nature has really played with amber and "painted" thousands of beautiful, highly original designs on it. It could easily be exhibited in the Louvre alongside the world's most famous painters.
