Baltic Amber: Nature’s Ancient Time Capsule
Baltic Amber is a truly unique and very interesting natural material—not a stone or mineral, but the fossilised resin of ancient pine and coniferous trees.
Millions of years ago, a vast prehistoric forest stretched across what is now the Baltic Sea region and the Scandinavian Peninsula. These trees produced resin to heal their wounds, which over time hardened and fossilised, forming the beautiful amber we know today.
This amber is estimated to be over 40 million years old, dating back to the Jurassic-Eocene period, making it one of the oldest and most beautiful types of amber in the world. Today, 80%–90% of the world’s amber supply comes from the Baltic Coast in Northern Europe.
Baltic Amber appears in warm hues of orange, gold, and red, with rare pieces in green, blue, or deep red. Each piece showcases a natural, subtle glow and often carries unique patterns or preserved inclusions.
The Science Behind Amber Inclusions.
Amber resin was very fluid and solidified quickly. During this process, insects and small organisms often became trapped in the sticky substance and were preserved inside for millions of years. This is how inclusions were formed. Usually, only small species are found, as larger insects were strong enough to escape. Interestingly, mosquitoes are extremely rare in amber, as it is believed they were repelled by the smell of the resin.
In AD 77, Roman philosopher Pliny the Elder wrote in The Natural History that amber was "a liquid at first," which hardened over time, especially when washed ashore. He noted its transparency and inclusions, describing it as being so light it "appears suspended in water."
Baltic Amber’s Gentle Power: Nature’s Ancient Remedy
Beyond its visual beauty, Baltic Amber is associated with healing and protective properties. It is believed to promote calm, ease stress and anxiety, support emotional healing, and boost the immune system. When worn against the skin—especially as jewellery—many believe it can help alleviate pain and protect against negative energies. These qualities make it a popular gift, symbolising warmth, affection, and well-being.
Amber, also known as succinite, contains 3–8% succinic acid, an alkalising substance found naturally in the human body. Succinic acid is believed to be formed by microorganism-induced fermentation of cellulose within the resin. Its name derives from the Latin succinum, meaning amber.
Historically, Baltic Amber has been used since ancient times not only for jewellery and decorative objects, but also in folk medicine, as a perfume ingredient, and in spiritual practices due to its healing properties.
Each piece of Baltic Amber is a unique combination of natural beauty, deep history, and ancient energy—making it a much loved material that continues to inspire collectors, jewellery makers, and lovers of nature around the world.
