Fossilized pine resin, many times used for ornamental purposes.
Glass-like rock formed by the lithification of tree sap.
Lightweight fossilized sap, resin, or gum from ancient trees, which can be cut, etched, faceted, or carved. Amber can be translucent or opaque and range in color from shades of yellow, brown, and red to gray or green.
A petrified pine resin used in the 1800's as a source for mouthpieces and stems.
Fossilized pine tree resin.
A hardened substance formed when molecules in certain tree resins polymerize, or join to form larger molecules. There is no exact age, hardness, or other quantifiable definition of amber. Using sophisticated chemical tests, however, scientists can identify amber's characteristic signatures.
(am'-ber) A fossil resin from coniferous trees. It is transparent, usually yellow or brown, and may enclose insects or other organisms.
A translucent or opaque yellow, fossil resin from coniferous trees.
Fossilised plant resin, in which ancient organisms have sometimes been trapped and preserved.
Hardened (fossilized) ancient sap or resin.
Soft, fossilised resin from a prehistoric variety of pine tree, ranging in colour from pale yellow and honey to a redish-brown, brown, red, and almost black. Sea Amber mainly occurs along the southern shores of the Baltic sea, especially near Lithuania, although it is also found on the coasts of eastern England and the Netherlands; pit amber is mined in Burma, Sicily, Romania, Poland and Mexico. Amber was popular in Celtic Britain, and again in the Victorian era. The best-quality amber is clear, and rare specimens contain embedded insects (although these can be introduced artificially) Amber has been imitated in plastic and glass.
A liquid from trees that has been fossilised over time to become hard; often used in jewellery.
a fossilized vegetable resin which is hard and brittle. Translucent colors yellow gold to brownish yellow.
Amber is a fossilized resin from pine trees. Amber deposits have been found that are over 150 million years old, but most amber used in jewelry or ornamentals is between 20-90 million years old. As the sticky resin rough amberoozed 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.
Yellow like the fields of wheat waving in the wind.
Fossilized tree sap that is cut and polished and used as a valuable gemstone. Can contain preserved insects and other inclusions that add to its unique look and often fabulously increase its value. Brown amber is mainly found in Siberia. Butterscotch amber is mainly found in the Baltic region of eastern Europe. A.R.T. Precious & Collectible Jewelry
A fossilized resin formed from coniferous trees. It is usually yellow or brown and transparent. Often amber encloses insects and other organisms and preserves them for millions of years. Amber is found in alluvial soils and lignite beds and on some seashores. Marcasite is also frequently found in the lignite beds with the amber.

Derived from Arabic, amber is a fossilized resin, reddish-yellow in colour and more or less transparant. It has been used from ancient times to make trinkets and jewellery.
a yellow or yellowish-brown transparent glass coloring.
Amber is the sap of ancient trees which has become hardened and fossilised. Sometimes it may have insects locked inside which were trapped in the sap, or have other interesting bubbles and inclusions which create beautiful patterns in the material. Much of the Amber on the market today comes from the Baltic region.
Obtained from fir trees. Gives a fragrance a very rich, warm fragrance tone. It is commonly used in fragrances that fall into the "oriental" category.
Amorphous organic fossilized resin. Generally yellow, orange to brown. (2 - 2.5)
The fossilized resin of conifer trees. The most common colors are honey yellow and various shades of red, but can also be off-white, black, and blue. Amber is easily simulated using plastics, but real amber produces static electricity when rubbed.
the golden orange colors of fossilized tree resin has been popular for centuries all over the world. Baltic Amber is the most common translucent variety which sometimes contains insects and other organics. Butter Amber (also called Milk Amber) has an opaque yellow color due to air bubbles trapped within the structure. Copal amber is also more opaque, and is used in African jewelry. It has been known as a protective amulet that attracts good fortune and good people into one's life.

Amber is the fossilised sap from pine trees. The main source for amber in Europe is along the south east coast of the Baltic Sea.
Amber is an organic gem, formed from the hardened, fossilized sap or resin of ancient pine trees over 50 million years old. Amber often contains bubbles and other inclusions such as small plant or animal fossils. Though its transparency and color varies, the most common colors are orange, yellow and brown.
Fossilization where the organism is entrapped in resin and preserved whole.
Although it may look like one, Amber is not really a stone but the yellow-brown fossilized resin of trees. It is claimed that Amber is used to best effect by those who suffer from throat infections, those who have bronchial disorders or those who are prone to asthma or convulsions, also rheumatism, intestinal disorders, earache, bladder trouble, nerves or bone-marrow deficiencies. Calming, can absorb negative energy and helps the body to heal itself. Used for making and breaking spells. Helps with depression and suicidal tendencies.
This wonderful translucent gem is actually the fossilised resin of trees which grew up to 90 million years ago. Amber is commonly orange/brown but can also range from blue to red to almost black. It is most abundantly found in deposits around the Baltic Sea region and has been used for decorative purposes since the Ancient Egyptians.
A fossil resin from the fir tree. Prized for its tenacity, it also adds warm, leathery, powdery elements to a composition. The color amber refers to the color of the resin.
Amber is tree resin that over time, and through the process of heat and pressure,has fossilized. For it to be called amber, the resin must be several million years old. Amber can vary in color from yellow, to red, to even green and blue. Though the transparent amber is considered the best commercial amber, some varieties are cloudy.
Amber is translucent fossilized tree resin (from conifers), a natural hydrocarbon that comes in many colors, including yellow, reddish, whitish, black, and blue. Amber is flammable. Rubbing amber produces static electricity. The word electricity comes from the Greek word for amber, "elektron." It used to be thought that amber possessed magical powers that protected the wearer from evil. Pressed amber consists of small pieces of amber that have been fused together to form a larger piece. Fake amber is easily made from plastics, and buyers must beware of cheap imitations sold as natural amber. Amber has a hardness of 2.5 and a specific gravity of 1.05-1.10.
is a fossil resin, transparent to translucent, occurring usually in yellowish or brownish but sometimes in red, orange, black, whitish, greenish, bluish or violetish. It was exuded from Pinis Succinefere pine trees that flourished about 20 million years ago. They are very much sought after by collectors if they contain the remains of insects and plants. Amber can also be pressed or reconstructed by melting small fragments of the material and compressing it into blocks by hydraulic pressure. Sources: Southern shores of the Baltic Sea in Poland: shores of East Germany; Sicily; Mediterranean Sea off Sicily; Upper Burma and Rumania.
Amber is perhaps the oldest substance used for human adornment. Its projective forces bring luck, healing, strength, beauty and love. It is not a stone but fossilized resin of coniferous trees of the Oligocene epoch. Beads and pendants have been found in gravesites dating back to 8000 B.C.E. It was once a living substance (sap that sustained a trees life) it was believed to contain the very essence of life itself. Amber has been utilized for nearly every purpose in magic. Wiccas and Shaman always wear amber necklaces combined with Jet. Those born in November will be drawn to its topaz like colour. See also: fossils and jet
(14th century) An organic stone, amber is the fossilized resin from prehistoric pine trees. These now-extinct plants produced enormous quantities of resin which fell to the ground or filled large cracks and holes in the trees where it eventually became fossilized. It is hard and golden to yellow-brown in colour.
Fossilised tree sap. Tree sap or resin is produced by some trees when they are wounded; it seals the wound against bacterial infection. Because it is sticky, insects and small animals are often trapped in it. When it solidifies, it may fall to the ground and become covered with soil; over millions of years it may become fossilised and turn into amber. Some pieces of amber still contain their trapped insects and are important for studying early animals.
Fossil tree resin that has achieved a stable state after ground burial due to chemical change and the loss of volatile constituents [LCOTE
Amber is a fossilized, organic mixture of pine resins, acids and volatile oils dating back at least 30 million years. It comes from the tree sap of the pine trees, pinus succinifera. It is predominantly found in yellow and brown colors. On Mohs’ scale of hardness, amber is 2-2.5. It has a vitreous luster and a resinous luster when polished. Its primary sources include Russia (Kaliningrad), Sicily/Italy (called Simetite), Rumania (called Rumanite), Burma (Myanmar - called Burmite), China, the Dominican Republic, Japan, Canada, Mexico, Alaska and New Jersey. (See Amber Facts.) (Note: Sources listed in order of primary and secondary deposits.)
A natural material (fossil resin of coniferous plants) with a yellow-re colour. There are excellent imitations of amber; when rubbed, true amber attracts paper.
The petrified sap from a prehistoric tree. May have insects or plant materials in it. Can range from clear, to pale green, to dark orange.
This is tree sap that gets hard over many years and is yellowish in color. It is used for making jewelry and other objects. A hard, translucent, yellow, orange, or brownish-yellow fossil resin, used for making jewelry and other ornamental objects. Formed from hardened tree resin, amber is a valuable fossil record of ancient flora and fauna - many species have been found trapped inside amber chunks dating over hundred of millions yrs old.
Not a stone, but rather tree sap that has become fossilized. It is cut, polished and treated as a valuable gemstone, especially when a piece contains a preserved insect. There are two varieties: Butterscotch (found in Eastern Europe) and Brown (found primarily in Siberia).
Fossilized sap or pitch from trees, usually golden brown and translucent. Said to promote healing and give protection from negativity. "Amber" can also refer to the color of amber.
A resin produced by certain trees since the Jurassic period. When secreted from the bark, resin forms a sticky orange fluid which insects and small creatures can become trapped in. Over time the resin hardens to form Amber, thus preserving itself and any insect or creature within. It was originally believed that mosquitoes trapped in this way, may contain the DNA necessary to resurrect a dinosaur. To date the evidence suggests that DNA could not survive for this length of time.
A heavy, full bodied, powdery, warm fragrance note.
translucent fossilised resin (from conifers) that comes in a range of colours including, yellows, reds, whites, blacks and blues. When rubbed, amber produces static electricity. The best quality amber is clear.
