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.
