As loved on Etsy

A teardrop of natural Baltic amber in a warm orange, hung on a strand of small black and orange beads. Baltic amber is fossil tree resin, tens of millions of years old, and every piece carries its own pattern of cloud and clarity. Quantity is one: the piece in the photographs is the piece you receive.

Material: natural Baltic amber.

Material

Amber

Amber is fossil tree resin, tens of millions of years old, not a mineral. GrainMoon's amber is described in the source as natural Baltic amber, flower amber and floral amber; one pendant is described as old Baltic amber.

How to judge quality

By clarity and by what is inside: clouds, flower-like discs and botanical inclusions each have their followers, and none is a fault. Then by size, since large clean pieces are rare, and by colour, from pale cream yellow through honey to the deep red of ombre amber. Amber should feel warm and surprisingly light; that lightness is one of the honest signs of the real material.

Care

Amber is soft and scratches easily. Put it on last, after perfume, hairspray and lotion, and take it off first. Clean it with a barely damp soft cloth and dry it at once. Keep it away from alcohol, solvents, ultrasonic cleaners and long heat, including a hot car. Store it alone, not in a box with stone or metal.

Tradition

Amber is traditionally associated with warmth and vitality, and has been carried as a protective stone around the Baltic for centuries. The gourd shape, hulu, is a traditional blessing motif. Described as tradition.
