Baltic Amber Raw

Baltic Amber Raw

Baltic amber is a fossilized resin derived from ancient coniferous trees that grew in the region now known as the Baltic states of Northern Europe, including areas of modern-day Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia. The resin exuded by these trees millions of years ago solidified over time, forming the deposits of amber found in this region.

In terms of appearance, Baltic amber typically exhibits a range of warm, golden-yellow hues, although it can also occur in shades of orange, red, brown, and even green or blue. The color variation is due to factors such as the tree species, organic material trapped within the resin, and environmental conditions during the fossilization process.

One of the most distinguishing features of Baltic amber is its transparency or translucency, which allows light to pass through the gemstone, giving it a luminous quality. When held up to the light, Baltic amber may reveal internal inclusions, such as plant matter, air bubbles, or even small insects or other organisms trapped within the resin millions of years ago.

Baltic amber is often prized for its natural beauty and warm, inviting appearance. It has been used for centuries in jewelry making, ornamental objects, and even as a traditional remedy in folk medicine due to its purported healing properties.
