Amber

Amber is not a true stone but can be considered as fossilized resin trees from 50 million years ago. The name Amber is taken from the Greek word ambrosia. If you see a translucent to opaque yellow, golden or orange material that is lighter in weight and warm to touch, it is of course amber. It produces static electricity when rubbed so it also known as electrum. Amber is found all over the world including Mexico, the dominion republic and Borneo but the best amber comes from Baltic region. Norse believes amber to be the tears of the goddess Freya that fell into the sea and solidified. Some others believe to the origin of the amber is the result of the tears of the Heliads grieving for her brother who has fallen into the river and died. The sun hardened those tears into the form of amber. According to the Polish stories regarding amber they describe its origin as human tears from forty-days rain. A legend from Kashubians ascribes creation of amber as a result of a loud lightening storm. Greek believes that amber protects its wearer and increase longevity.
