Amber – Fossilized Tree Resin Gemstone

By Sangeeta Sinha

Though the formation of amber goes back 50 million years, it is known to be the most intriguing organic gemstone in the world. In fact, “substance” would be the correct word to call.

That’s because it is nothing but sticky and soft resin of Pinus succinifera tree that had trapped many insect species, especially mosquitoes, and had been fossilized for a long time.

From the Persian word “ambar” the word “amber” has been derived. Originally, it was used to describe “ambergris”, a hard wax-type substance found inside the sperm whales’ intestines. Because of its aroma, ambergris is still used in the manufacture of perfumes and fragrances.

Amber Pendants

Amber pendants made of modified amber. The oval pendant is 52 by 32 mm (2 by 1.3 inches).

Because the two terms got people confused (amber and ambergris would be found on seashores), the word “amber” started being referred to the gemstone in the 1300s. Anyway, the difference between ambergris and amber is that ambergris floats in freshwater due to its lower density, but amber floats in saltwater and not freshwater.

“Resinite” is the amber that has developed in cold seams, and “ambrite” is the amber (again, developed in cold seams) sourced from New Zealand.
