Pressed Amber Begleri DA0163

Amber is a fossilized resin from pines and other conifers that are several thousands to millions years old. Although it is not a stone, but a hardened resin, it is used as a gemstone for the manufacture of jewelry and other decorative objects. Its beneficial properties have made it one of the most popular “stones” since ancient times. Pressed amber is the material consisting of the powder of solid amber, which is collected during its processing. It is cheaper, heavier and slightly more durable. Handle this material with care. Inclusions, cracks and breakage surfaces are a natural phenomenon and should never be associated with wear and tear.
