Baltic amber is a beautiful and fascinating gemstone that is treasured for its unique beauty and rich history. This type of amber is primarily found in the Baltic region of Europe, specifically in countries such as Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia. It is formed from the fossilized resin of ancient pine trees, which lived in the region over 44 million years ago.
Baltic amber has a long and interesting history. It has been used for centuries in jewelry and other decorative objects, as well as for its purported healing properties. In ancient times, it was believed to have protective and healing powers and was often worn as an amulet. Today, Baltic amber is still highly valued for its beauty and is a popular choice for jewelry.
Amber is formed through a process called polymerization, in which the ancient resin is slowly transformed into amber over millions of years. This process involves the breakdown of the organic molecules in the resin, as well as the absorption of oxygen and other elements from the environment. The result is a unique and beautiful gemstone that is treasured around the world.
