Amber is a fossilized resin from pines and other conifers that are several thousands to millions years old. It is also called electron and is found mainly in the Baltic region. 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.
Royal amber is characterized by its milky white to creamy yellow shade. It is usually located at the heart of the mineral, it is rarer, more sensitive and more expensive.
All minerals used for the creation of our kombolois are mostly gemstones used to craft jewelry. Please treat your komboloi with care. Inclusions, cracks and breakage surfaces are a natural phenomenon and should never be associated with wear and tear.
Please do not use alcohol or any other type of disinfectant or chemical to clean or polish amber.
