Amber homepage
Approximately 30 and 90 million years ago, large stands of forests in some parts of the world began to seep globs of sticky resin! This aromatic resin oozed down the sides of trees, as well as filling internal fissures, trapping debris, such as seeds, leaves, feathers andinsects. As geologic time progressed the forests were buried and the resin hardened into a soft, warm, golden gem, known as amber.
