AMBER

MINERALOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS

The amber is not considered a mineral, since it is a fossilized resin from extinct trees, shrubs and other plants. The resin from these trees dried up 40-60 million years ago, although much older pieces of amber have been found. Sometimes amber has inclusions of plant or animal remains such as flowers, mosses, ants and mosquitoes.

Thanks to these inclusions and through paleontology, knowledge of life millions of years ago is obtained. The most abundant amber is yellow, orange or brown, but there is also red, black, white, bluish and greenish amber.

Deposits: Russia, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Poland, Denmark, Norway, Italy, England, Germany, Dominican Republic, Myanmar, Lebanon, Mexico, Romania, Germany, Canada, China and Japan .
