Baltic amber is 40 to 60 million years old and trapped many prehistoric plants and insects during its formation. Researchers have cataloged amber pieces containing more than 1 000 extinct species of insects. Between 1895 and 1900 one million kilograms of Baltic amber went to jewelry production. The word 'amber' comes from three separate sources: "ambre" from Middle French 'ambra' from Medieval Latin and 'anbar' from Arabic. Amber takes heat application to alter water bubbles to discoid fractures (disk-like or radiating) also known as sun spangles. Amber is said to be good for anxiety, stress and pain.  Bring home this amazing Turtle carving today!
