Amber is an organic gemstone formed from the fossilized resin of ancient trees over millions of years. It is typically golden yellow in color but can also be found in shades of orange, brown, red, and even green and blue. Amber is relatively soft compared to mineral gemstones, with a hardness of about 2 to 2.5 on the Mohs scale. A fascinating characteristic of amber is that it often contains preserved ancient insects or plant matter, making it highly prized by collectors and scientists. Amber has been used for jewelry and decorative purposes since antiquity and remains popular today.
