AMBER FOR SALE

Amber is the fossilized resin of trees. It occurs in many colors ranging from yellow to red, even black, and is found in a variety of natural or polished shapes. Amber is known for trapping insects and plant material intact when it oozed out of ancient trees, making it an interesting window into the past.

Amber can be found in many places around the world, including Northern Myanmar (Burma), Mexico and the Dominican Republic, but 90 percent of the world's supply comes from the Baltic Sea region in northern Europe. You have to be very wary of fake amber on the market, particularly amber containing larger insect inclusions: make sure to buy from a trusted dealer like FossilEra.
