Amber is fossilized tree resin, a result of heat, intense pressure and plenty of time. Much of it originates as far back as 60 million years and has been used for jewelry, medicine, perfume and personal amulets and carvings that date back to 12,000 BC.
This rich gemstone is a perfect combination of the mineral and fossil world. More than 1,000 extinct species of animals and various types of plant matter have been identified in amber.
Amber is a unique preservational mode, preserving otherwise unfossilizable parts of organisms, as such it is helpful in reconstructing ecosystems as well as organisms.
