Green Amber Collection Amber comes in many colors, and of the most beautiful is Green Amber. It is approximately 40-60 million years old. Green amber shows a strong connection to nature and the Earth. This type of amber can be found only in the Baltic Sea Area. In these regions, millions of years ago, deposits of amber were created. The Great Ice Age was a global phenomenon which altered the climate and surface of the Earth. In addition, it had a dramatic affect on amber. Large heavy sheets of ice shifted from Northern Europe, passing over land abundant with green grass and moss. As all of this green earth material mixed with the amber deposits the beautiful color of green amber was created. The history of amber begins about 90 million years ago in lush green forests in the region of modern day Northern Europe. Trees in these regions produced an aromatic resin, used for protection against woodpeckers, fungus and bark-eating insects. This resin would slowly cascade covering the bark of the tree entrapping debris and sometimes live insects along the way. Nearly 40 different species of trees produced this protective resin, accounting for the numerous colors of amber today. Over millions of years, this golden resin produced by pre-historic trees accumulated in many layers in the soil below. With the onset of The Great Ice Age, these forests perished, the soil froze and the fossilization process began creating deposits of beautiful amber. After The Great Ice, melted glaciers flowed on top of the amber deposits, forming the Baltic and North Seas. Due to this geological occurrence, amber found its new home in the sea. The gem spent many thousands of years below 100 feet of sand at the sea bottom. After violent sea storms, various lumps of amber would separate and float among the waves, eventually reaching the shore to be discovered by man. The Aisti people were the first to pick up amber lumps along the Baltic shores 25,000 years ago. Aisti believe that amber was pieces of the Sun that had fallen down to the earth and cherished it as a gift from the heavens.
