Amber – The Stone of Warmth, Protection and Life Energy
Amber is a remarkable fossilized resin that is millions of years old and known for its warm, golden energy, purifying effect and supportive qualities for both body and mind. It formed from hardened tree resin and appears in shades such as honey yellow, cognac, orange and even green. Historically, Amber was seen as a protective talisman, especially around the Baltic Sea, where Baltic Amber has been used for centuries in jewelry and healing practices. Today, Amber is popular in necklaces, pendants, bracelets and beads because of its lightweight feel and gentle energy that supports calm, vitality and emotional stability.
