Amber is fossil resin found in different place of our
planet, but Palmniken field located in the Baltic Sea near

amber.
Amber is widely used as the material for jewellry and

Many people think that amber is a yellow-brown transparent stone, but actually there are
about 250 kinds of amber. It can be transparent and opaque. Its colour varies from
brown to white. It can contain small bubbles or even fossil insects.
Amber is a very good material for the manufacturing of jewellry, but amber jewellry
requires the special care. Keep them in solid boxes as it is very soft and fragile. Wash it
only with pure water and wipe it with soft fabric. Keep amber far from perfume because
it can cause stains. Keep amber separately from other jewellry because it can become
cloudy.
