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 to manufacture jewelry and other decorative objects.
Inclusions, fractures, and break surfaces are naturally occurring phenomena and should not be considered as damage. Avoid cleaning with alcohol or any alcohol-based products.
