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.
