Amber is a fossilized resin from pines and other conifers that are several thousands to millions years old. 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. Due to its beneficial properties it has been treasured as one of the most popular gemstones since ancient times.
