What is Baltic amber?
Baltic amber is a fossilized tree resin that originated millions of years ago from ancient forests in the Baltic region. Known for its rich golden hues, it is highly valued for its beauty and rarity. This amber often contains preserved inclusions of ancient insects, plants, and air bubbles, offering a glimpse into prehistoric life.
How can I identify real amber?
Authentic amber is lightweight and warm to the touch, unlike plastic imitations. Real amber is fluorescent under UV light. Many imitations have inclusions of large spiders and lizards - these large animals and insects simply wouldn't be caught in tree sap and trapped! Typical inclusions are between a few millimetres to one or two centimetres. Larger inclusions are rare and demand a high premium.
How can I store my amber?
Keep out of direct sunlight and at a consistent temperature. Keep away from high heat, such as a radiator.
