All About Baltic Amber

Baltic amber is the fossilized resin from different trees and plant sources. Researchers suspect that fossilized pine trees were the primary source of Baltic amber.

The Baltic region was home to the largest amber deposits, discovered more than 45 million years ago. The Baltic region refers to present-day countries that border the Baltic Sea. These Northern European countries housed the Baltic forest, which is the source of around 80% of the world’s Baltic amber supply.

These Baltic amber fossil deposits wash up on beaches or are mined from various nearby sedimentary deposits. These processes bring forth years of hidden gemstones, making it possible to create Baltic amber jewelry for you today.

Physical Features of Baltic Amber

There are over one hundred different fossil resins known today, but Baltic amber is distinguishable by its mainly yellow, orange, and brown “honey-like” colors. It differs from other tree resins after polymerization occurs.

These gems vary by these three physical features, which distinguish them from other fossil resins.

How to Identify Baltic Amber:

• Shape - organic and irregular
• Color - from yellow to black, and everything in between
• Degree of transparency - can be clear, cloudy, or appear not transparent at all but foamy

Sometimes insects became trapped in the resin and became fossilized within the Baltic amber gem, allowing them to be discovered many years later. It is one of the most species-rich fossils found for insects to date!

Is Baltic Amber a Mineral?

Is Baltic amber a mineral? A mineral has an inorganic, natural makeup with a definite chemical structure. When we think of minerals, we might think of rocks or other hard and grainy solids found naturally on Earth. 

Baltic amber occurs organically and does not have the same complex crystal structure that minerals do. Some gems may be minerals, but we cannot categorize all gemstones as such, which is the case with Baltic amber.

It is not rocket science, but geology tells us Baltic amber is not a mineral, and that is no myth. There are many differences between minerals and gemstones, including their origins and functions.

The Black Feldspar Palm Stone 2 is composed of rock-forming tectosilicate minerals, which are the same minerals that make up the Earth’s crust. Feldspar is known as the lucky stone and is known for banishing negative energies, bringing peace and calm, and aiding lucid dreaming. 

Our Polished Labradorite Heart Stone is another stunning stone that protects against negative and evil energies. Labradorite is a type of feldspar mineral, just like the black palm stone.
