Amber is not a crystal, it is a fossilized tree resin that has been appreciated for its color, natural beauty, and healing qualities since Ancient times. Because it originates as a soft, sticky tree resin, amber sometimes contains animal and plant material as inclusions.

Amber possesses deep ties to the earth and serves as a conduit for grounding higher energies. This potent healer and purifier draw out ailments from the body, fostering tissue rejuvenation. By absorbing negativity and pain, Amber facilitates self-healing and restores balance. It also eases stress and resonates with the throat, addressing throat issues such as goiters. Additionally, it benefits various organs including the stomach, spleen, kidneys, bladder, and liver, while also addressing joint problems and fortifying mucus membranes.

Furthermore, Amber purifies the surrounding environment and acts as a robust guardian, connecting to higher spiritual realms. It instills stability, sharpens intellect, dispels depression, and fosters a positive mindset and creative expression.
