Product Information

Amber is a petrified form of tree resin. Essentially, immense heat and pressure drive the aromatic components and moisture out of the resin, which eventually forms a macromoleuclar structure. Later, the museum received a large collection of fossils from the Aptian-aged Crato (Santana) Formation of Brazil (mid-Cretaceous, ca. 110 Ma), containing some 3,000 terrestrial arthropods.The Crato insects are mineralized replicas preserved in limestone, and constitute one of the largest and most diverse deposits of Cretaceous insects. AMNH holds pre-eminent collections of Cretaceous amber, a total of some 10,000 pieces, from the Cretaceous of Lebanon (c. 125 Ma), Myanmar (c. 100 Ma), Alaska (95 Ma), New Jersey (c. 90 Ma), and Alabama (ca. 85 Ma). Buying amber online is a little bit sketchy at times, but most fakes are very obvious to someone who knows what to look for.

Since amber co-occurs with lignite, you’ll want to dig down to that layer for significant specimens. Blue Amber-A striking amber found only in the Dominican Republic. These specimens are a deep blue color with fluorescence. They change color depending on the light and are highly sought after. Amber is an amazing example of the sheer variety of gems produced by the Earth. In this case, amber is fossilized tree sap that often brings with it glimpses into a world far away from ours. Each specimen is a bit of history and collectors have a lot to learn. Salt Water- Real amber floats in saltwater. Try adding 5-7 tablespoons of salt to a cup of water and dropping the piece in.
