Amber Chunk Sterling Silver Pendant

Amber Chunk Sterling Silver Pendant. A really lovely freeform piece of Amber, Polished Smooth on the Front, dimpled on the back.

Amber technically speaking is not a stone, but a fossilized resin from the now extinct coniferous tree, Pina Succinifera, which existed in the Eocene Epoch of the Tertiary period, about 50 million years ago. It comes mainly from the Baltic, although there are a number of other deposits throughout the world. Amber was the first precious stone noted in human history and has a Mohs rating of 2-2.5 on the hardness scale. Amber is thought metaphysically to create a feeling of ease, being carefree, and enhance memory of past lives.
