Amber is fossilised resin of extinct tree trunks. Pine and coniferous trees usually release a form of resins. The resin heal an internal damage, keeping the tree healthy. Over time, the resin evolves as an organic fossil which we now call Amber.
One of the oldest and the most beautiful types of Amber is Baltic Amber and it dates back to more than 40 million years.
