Amber

Rich, golden, and clear like frozen honey, this featherweight "stone" is really petrified tree sap and not a mineral at all. It is found mostly in northern European countries and Russia, thus the name "Baltic Amber." Because Amber is an organic fossil, it can be affected by alcohol and other chemicals. Care should be used to avoid spraying perfume or hairspray on Amber. When rubbed, Amber can produce static electric charges. Colors range from opaque white, yellow, red hued amber and deep brown.
