Organic Amber
Product Description
Amber can be helpful to our animals in several ways. It is said to stimulate the body’s self-healing abilities, which is useful to help older animals trigger their own self-healing powers. It’s an excellent stone for relieving anxiety and depression, so important for treating an older animal as well . It is also a powerful stone of protection, acting against the absorption of negative energies. Powers attributed to amber by folklore include love, strength, luck, healing, and protection, calming for hyperactivity and stressed nerves, help finding humor and joy.
Legend says that amber was believed to provide magicians and sorcerers with special enhanced powers. Chinese amber was said to contain the souls of many tigers and the power of many suns. Another Oriental legend is that amber is the drops of petrified dragon’s blood. During the Classical era it was thought to be formed by the rays of the setting sun. It's said to help remove energy blockages, and strengthens the physical body. Excellent for enhancing altered states of consciousness. In Wicca and in shamanism amber is used as a gateway to other realms.

Amber deposits have been found that range between 360 and one million years old and belong between the Carboniferous and Pleistocene geological periods. As sticky resin oozed from ancient pine trees, small insects, plant material, feathers and other small objects in the path of the flow became entrapped. Over time, the resin was encased in dirt and debris and through a process of heat and pressure it fossilized to become amber.
Amber was one of the first commercial products, and has been traded for centuries. It has been found in the form of pendants dating from the Paleolithic Era (c. 12,000 B.C.). Evidence of amber in jeweler's workshops has been discovered by archeologists tied to the Neolithic period. It is during this time that caches of amber are also found embedded beneath the foundations of houses- possibly intended to ensure the good fortune of the occupants. The ancient Amber Way led first from the North by water, from Jutland down the Elbe, from Western Pomerania down the Oder, to Bohemia, through Pomerania down the Vistula, and from the Samland Peninsula to the Black Sea Coast. Then, overland, through the Brenner Pass into Italy, the heart of the Roman Empire.
During the 1st-4th centuries BC, it was the Celts who re-established what would have been even to them, much more ancient trade roads previously dominated by others, including the Phoenicians. Amber artefacts from various periods have been found in Mycenae shaft graves (Greece) as well as finds in Babylonia and Egypt (Tutenkhamen's tomb) & even in Brighton (UK) where a particularly famous amber cup from a burial mound is housed.
Amber increases in value with the rarity and perfection of the entrapped object. Complete insect specimens are rare though and command top price.
Amber can range in color from dark brown to a light almost clear lemon yellow. Most amber that has been used in jewelry is from the region of the Baltic Sea or the Dominican Republic.
Amber is very soft, between 2 1/2-3 on the Mohs scale and can be scratched easily.
Much of the amber used in commercial jewelry is actually reconstituted, which makes it harder and less prone to scratching. Reconstituted and processed amber usually doesn't have natural inclusions.
