Amber, often referred to as "sunstone" or "gold of the sun," is a unique gem created over 40 million years ago from fossilized tree resin. Originating from the ancient forests of the Fennoscandian continent, which covered parts of present-day Baltic regions, these mixed forests included various trees like cypress, oak, and the special amber pine. As these trees produced resin to protect themselves, the resin eventually fossilized, creating the amber we cherish today.
Historical evidence shows that ancient Baltic tribes, as well as civilizations like Greece and Rome, highly valued amber for its protective and healing properties. In medicine, amber is known for its ability to inhibit the growth of malignant cells, improve blood circulation, and alleviate various ailments like joint diseases, bronchial asthma, and migraines. This is largely attributed to succinic acid, a unique biostimulant found in amber. Healers have long believed that each piece of amber carries a part of the sun's light and power, giving it an extraordinary ability to heal and protect.
Wearing amber is said to cleanse the mind, body, and spirit, attracting prosperity and good fortune to its wearer.
