Learn about Amber

Strictly speaking amber is not a stone but a fossilized resin. It can have interesting inclusions such as plants, insects and even lizards! If these inclusions are still present amber can be very valuable. The stone measures 2.5 on the Mohs scale of hardness so is very soft and can be easily scratched. The Greek name for amber is ‘electrum’ as the stone can obtain an electric charge when rubbed.  Find out more....
