Amber is an organic gemstone made from a fossilized tree resin, so it has been preserved over millions of years and turned to stone. Amber usually forms in large chunks and its surface can vary from smooth to rough depending on the type of Amber found, making for a unique jewelry piece! Amber typically is collected from the coasts of the Baltic and North Seas but we also get Amber from places like Dominican Republic, Mexico, and Indonesia. Dominican Amber especially is highly prized as it is UV reactive with unusual golden/yellow tones that are absolutely captivating! Its rarity makes it even more sought-after and anyone who owns Amber pieces definitely have something special!
