Amber

Amber is a fozzilized tree resin found on the shores of baltic sea and north sea.

Amber is naturally available in 6 different colours and around 25 shades. Let's have a look at the various coloured ambers.

  • Yellow Amber - Around 70% of ambers typically appear in this yellow (yellowish- orange) colour, especially the Baltic Sea amber. Depending on the gas bubbles in it, the amber may appear in lighter or darker yellow shades. Yellow amber represents purity and harmony.
  • White Amber - Only 1- 2% naturally available amber is white, which makes it very rare to find. Hence, usually, these are not chemically treated and are used in its original form as such.
  • Red Amber - Also known as Cherry, these types of ambers are very rare that only 2-3% belong to this colour category. In most cases, these are made by exposing amber to high temperatures. It symbolizes love and passion.
  • Blue Amber - This unique amber is considered to be one of those rarely available ones since only 0.2% of them are blue. Its true colours are revealed only when looked under good lighting, otherwise, they appear in yellowish-brown colour.
  • Green Amber - About 2% of natural ambers are green in colour. This amber is made by heating yellow coloured amber. Hence, it is comparatively cheaper in the market.
  • Black Amber - Black amber is not black, but it is dark red or brown. It is not fully fossilized resin; it is formed when the tree resin is mixed with soil and other impurities. Known for its elegant appearance, it is one of the most popular types of ambers.

Amber is hard and non-toxic. Floating test, electrostatic charging, got pin test, scratching test are some standardized methods used to find genuine amber gems. Experts can identify authentic ones through checking smelling, tasting or even through observing under fluorescent light.
