Amber Polished Sterling Silver Pendant

Deep, rich Amber cabochons are showcased in a Sterling Silver setting.  This "amber polished pendant" is a piece of jewelry that features a polished piece of amber that has been shaped and smoothened to create a pendant. Amber is a fossilized resin that is formed over millions of years, and it can be found in a variety of different colors, including yellow, orange, brown, and red.

Amber is a yellow to orange organic mineral that can be found all over the world. It can be easily Identified by its transparent color and lightweight. Amber is the result of fossilized tree sap. Amber is thought to absorb pain and negative energy, helping to alleviate stress.

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.
