The chips range from golden yellow to deep honey-brown, often with translucent patches. Amber is fossilised tree resin — typically 30 to 90 million years old — not a stone in the geological sense.

Amber responds beautifully to natural and lamp light — placing it where light passes through the chips brings out the golden warmth. Wipe the glass with a soft cloth.

It is fossilised resin from ancient coniferous forests, and some pieces contain preserved insects or plant matter millions of years old. Amber has been traded along European routes since the Neolithic period — the Romans called it \"succinum\" (juice of the earth). It remains one of the most valued organic gem materials in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWorth Wrapping\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA distinctive choice for anyone who loves amber jewellery, natural history, or warm-toned decor.
