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.
