Today, scientists have proven that amber is a modified resin of trees of the Tertiary period (the beginning of the period occurred 65 million years ago, the duration is about 63 million years). In this period, approximately 45 - 50 million years ago, the Earth experienced a warming and humidification of the climate. Therefore, some trees began to release resins, especially pines. The resin that solidified on the ground accumulated in the soil, and the rivers gradually carried away its hardened pieces.

Copal is often given as a fossil resin, it is also a resin, but it arose only a few thousand years ago. If you drop alcohol on such a stone, a stain will appear. In addition, such artificial amber is seemingly heterogeneous, as if with a network of microcracks.
Due to the high cost of inclusions, they are also often faked using epoxy resin and placing some kind of insect there. In this case, you can distinguish a fake by paying attention to the wings, in natural amber they are straightened. AT artificial stone insects are often caught in traps with sticky tape and as a result their wings are damaged or stick together.

However, in the middle of the 18th century, M.V. Lomonosov once again spoke (and provided evidence) that amber is a completely organic product.
The name of the stone familiar to us appeared in the 16th century: first in the form of the Old Slavonic “gentator”, then “gintaras” in Lithuanian, turning into then into “amber”. In German, amber in the 13th century was called "burning stone": to use it healing properties the stone was set on fire and its smoke was inhaled.

Amber is not contraindicated for the signs of Water and Air, however, Taurus should be very careful with it: amber is not the best choice for him.
Since the reign of dinosaurs on Earth, amber stone has been preserved in the depths of the earth's crust.
About 100 million years ago, the planet had a predominantly tropical climate, due to which all continents, except for the northern parts of the world, were covered with evergreen coniferous forests.
The resin of these ancient trees, standing out from the bark, quickly hardened. Sometimes she managed to overtake some insect, arthropod small animal or small reptile.
A living creature caught in such captivity quickly solidified along with the resin, forever remaining in its original form. And this is the great benefit of amber for modern science.
Indeed, thanks to this, we can understand what the mosquitoes, spiders and bees of those times were like, see ancient lizards and scorpions. By the way, it should be noted that they have not changed at all.
Amber - very beautiful semiprecious stone, which has different color shades and has unique useful properties. Precious amber becomes such if there is any frozen ancient creature inside it.
The main deposits of amber in nature and its varieties
The main continents of the amber deposit are Eurasia and America. And having studied the writings of antiquity, we can conclude that once a few species were found in India and Africa.
In Russia, huge deposits of amber are located in the Kaliningrad region. There is a huge concentration of precious gems here, which is 90% of the world's reserves.
At all times different nations variously called amber. It was said to be a "fire stone", "sun stone" or even "heavenly tear". This is due to the fact that nuggets do have many varieties of shape and color.
It all depends on how many impurities got into the resin before it solidified, how long the stone lay in the depths of the earth or was oxidized by oxygen, and how many millions of years it was honed by sea waves.
The colors and transparency of amber can reveal its origin:
Yellow
In ancient times, people believed that this stone was bestowed by the sun itself. And to some extent this is true, because its bright yellow and absolute transparency was obtained by resin, which solidified under hot direct sunlight.
Turbid or completely opaque yellow amber turned out to be due to the fact that it lacked the sun and had time to absorb foreign minerals and oxidize with oxygen;
Red
Blood amber got its hue from a long stay in sandy rocks, often has a transparent structure.
Green
After hardening, the resin fell into the waters of swamps and seas, near which trees grew. Being there for millions of years, the nuggets were honed by the current and acquired colors from green to dark blue. At the same time, the stone was saturated with minerals accompanying the medium, which could cause it to lose its original transparency.
The black
The rarest and most expensive amber. It was formed by putrefactive processes in an environment filled with iron compounds. This stone is very fragile. Even the very extraction of this fossil is fatal to him, since the faithful amber crumbles from the slightest blow.
White
Or colors Ivory. The gases penetrating the resin formed hundreds of small bubbles in it, due to which the stone acquired White color and beautiful matte finish.
It can be concluded that any types of matte amber lost their transparency over time due to saturation with gases and microelements surrounding it. Often, such stones are not monophonic, but are painted with patterns of different saturation of a shade given by nature.
Physical properties
The resin flowing from ancient coniferous trees hardened under the influence of the environment, which transformed its chemical composition.
Those stones that are mined today can be seen as:
- carbon;
- hydrogen;
- nitrogen;
- sulfur;
- oxygen.
All elements have different percentages depending on the location of the fossil, but carbon always predominates. In addition, the stones that have lain for millions of years in the earth's crust, at the bottom of the sea or in the sands, have absorbed the elements of iron, iodine and, of course, succinic acid.
The density of amber reaches a maximum of 1.3 g per cm. With aging, the stone becomes brittle.
