Not only is amber jewelry a popular and beautiful jewelry item, but it also offers valuable clues into
ancient ecosystems for paleontologists.
Amber is a fossilized tree resin produced by ancient
conifer and pine trees for protection from insects and disease. Most of the world’s amber is 30-100 million years old and contains particles of various foreign materials including
trapped insects and plant debris.
The largest deposits of amber are in the Baltic States and
Dominican Republic. Amber jewelry from the Baltic is recognized as older and more valuable while amber
jewelry from the Dominican Republic has a higher concentration of inclusions (insects, plant material,
air bubbles, etc.).
Amber jewelry is available in a wide variety of colors including orange,
cherry, golden yellow, and white and often contains insect inclusions. Amber rings, necklaces, pendants, brooches, and earrings may be purchased for as little as $20 and run up into the tens of thousands. Interesting Fact:
In 1992, entomologists have found what may be a missing evolutionary link between termites and cockroaches stuck in a piece of amber and have called it Mastotermes eleinicus.
