Million years ago large stands of forests in some parts of the world began to seep globs of sticky resin! This aromatic resin oozed down the sides of trees, as well as filling internal fissures, trapping debris, such as seeds, leaves, feathers and insects. As geologic time progressed the forests were buried and the resin hardened into a soft, warm, golden gem, known as amber. HYPERLINK "http://www.emporia.edu/earthsci/amber/fig02.htm" Amber is the fossilized resin of ancient trees which forms through a natural polymerization of the original organic compounds. Most of the world's amber is in the range of 30-90 million years old.
Amber Facts
During the Roman times, higher prices were paid for small amulets in amber than for healthy slaves.
In 79 AD, Plinius wrote that the women of northern Italy wore amber beads against thyroid.
Martin Luther carried a piece of amber in his pocket as a protection against kidney stones.
In ancient China it was customary to burn amber during large festivities. This practice both signified the wealth of the host as well as honoring the guests.
According to Mohammed, a true believer's prayer beads should be made of amber. Over 2500 years ago, Thales of Miletos discovered that when amber was rubbed against cloth, sparks were produced and then the amber attracted husks and small wooden splinters. This force was given the name "electricity" after the Greek word electron which means amber.
Let the images speak for themselves. - I tried to capture the detail with my camera by shooting many photos and close ups and recommend enlarging the images by clicking on them!
THE LAST IMAGES SHOW A HISTORIC BOOK OF 1584 WITH A MAP OF THE AREA WHERE THIS AMBER WAS FOUND!
