About amber: Ambers were formed many millions of years ago, when forests still flourished in marine regions. Ambers are made up of tree resin that fell to the ground, hardened and turned into amber. Amber has been valued for its colour, its various shapes and its natural beauty since ancient times, and it has not lost its value even today. Amber comes in many different colours. In addition to the usual yellow-orange-brown colour associated with amber, amber itself can range from off-white to pale yellow and from brown to almost black. Amber is still used today in jewellery and in folk medicine as a healing agent. Amber is divided into five classes, which define the chemical constituents of amber.
