like diamonds, true amber takes millions of years to be created. amber is the ancient resin of trees once it has gone through a number of changes over a period of tens of millions of years. the age of amber can be between 35 and 140 million years old and can be found in many countries, but the baltic sea region contains 95% of the world's amber. it is known for its beauty and quality. its color, warmth, and electrical properties have earned it a reputation as a protective and calming stone. it can absorb negative energy, has been used to help the body to heal itself, and supports a sunny disposition, happiness, courage, good luck, and manifestation. it has also been used to dispel depression.
