The pendant displays patina typical of its age and has been cleaned but not polished.

Amber, an organic gemstone, is fossilized tree resin that captivates with its warm, golden hues. Ranging from pale yellow to deep orange-brown, and occasionally even rare blues and greens, Amber often contains fascinating inclusions of ancient insects and plant matter, offering a glimpse into prehistoric times. With a relatively low hardness on the Mohs scale, it is a delicate gem, but its unique origin and vibrant colors make it a cherished material for jewelry and ornamental objects. It is prized for its natural beauty and the "time capsule" effect of its inclusions.
