Amber (Fossilized Tree Resin)

Amber is fossilized tree resin that has hardened over millions of years. Originally, resin is a sticky, natural substance produced by certain trees to protect against injury and pests. When it oozes out and becomes buried under layers of sediment, it slowly hardens and transforms into amber. Often, small organisms like insects or plant material get trapped in the resin before it solidifies, creating fascinating preserved inclusions. Amber is valued for its beauty, durability, and scientific importance in studying ancient ecosystems. Its warm, golden color and unique inclusions make it highly prized in jewelry and research.
