All gems have a legacy, but only one has
it's history suspended in time. Amber is fossilized resin
from prehistoric pine trees which flowed over 40 million
years ago, capturing and preserving whatever crossed
its' path. Amber has always captured our hearts. The
Greeks reserved it for nobility, Roman women loved it
so much they dyed their hair to match the color of the
amber. In Africa, yellow amber is thought to attract
sunlight and deflect dark-ness, as well as offer protection
against the evil eye. The Gladiators wore amulets of
amber to protect them in battle. Legend has it that
wearing a piece of amber will bring you good health &
long life. Amber has been used as a healing source for
centuries.
